Sade My Neighbor Quotes

“Transgression (outrage) seems absurd and puerile when it does not succeed in resolving itself into a state of affairs in which it would no longer be necessary. But it belongs to the nature of transgression that it is never able to find such a state. Transgression is then something else than the pure explosion of an energy accumulated thanks to an obstacle. It is an incessant recuperation of the possible itself--inasmuch as the existing state of things has eliminated this possible as a new form of existence, it would have to transgress it in turn. The possible as such would thus have been eliminated and would have to be recuperated yet again. What the act of transgression recuperates from the possible in what does not exist is its own possibility of transgressing what exists.”
― Pierre Klossowski, Sade My Neighbor
