Im curious to know of how many have read any of the De Sade writings, Im reading a biography about Him, and find that no matter how bad things got for him, he never lost his mind. Very interesting reading........

I think there are some that would say his mind was never found lol - I just watched a really interesting film called "Quills" about him - he certainly was an interesting character .....................................i will look for his biography at the library though - will be interesting reading.

The Marquis De Sade lived in a time when the field of psychology (as we know it today) did not exist. So who can really say if he was insane or not? The American Psychiatry Association holds that Sadism (enjoyment or preoccupation with inflicting pain on others) as a mental disorder.

The links below might give you some interested reading.
