'Rasputin Was My Neighbor' And Other True Tales Of Time Travel
Made by me welcometothegrave.tumblr.com. Hearing the Rococo Era referred to as the Victorian Era (or even really any era that gets mixed up that is painfully different from what it is being claimed as) is a pet peeve of mine.
“The callousness of the Rich legitimates the bad conduct of the Poor; let them open their purse to our needs, let humaneness reign in their hearts and virtues will take root in ours; but as long as our misfortune, our patient endurance of it, our good faith, our abjection only serves to double the weight of our chains, our crimes will be their doing, and we will be fools indeed to abstain from them when they can lessen the yoke wherewith their cruelty beats us down.” — Marquis de Sade, Justine

“one must, said Juliette, take good care to avoid believe it is marriage that renders a girl happy: that, a captive under the hymeneal laws, she has, with much ill-humor to suffer, a very slight measure of joys to expect; instead of which, were she to surrender herself to libertinage, she might always be able to protect herself against her lovers’ moods, or be comforted by their number.” — Marquis de Sade, Justine
