"There is nothing either fundamentally good, nor anything fundamentally evil; everything is relative, relative to our point of view . . . This point once established, it is extremely possible that something, perfectly indifferent in itself, may be indeed distasteful in your eyes, but may be most delicious in mine; and immediately I find it pleasing, immediately I find it amusing, regardless of our inability to agree in assigning a character to it, should I not be a fool to deprive myself of it merely because you condemn it?"
- The Marquis de Sade from The 120 Days of Sodom
