"Break what must be broken, once for all, that's all, and take the suffering on oneself."

Previous Quote

Any punishment that does not correct, that can merely rouse rebellion in whoever has to endure it, is a piece of gratuitous infamy which makes those who impose it more guilty in the eyes of humanity, good sense and reason, nay a hundred times more guilty than the victim on whom the punishment is inflicted.

— Marquis de Sade
