→Marquis de Sade quote
His books featured [[murder]], [[torture]], [[blasphemy]] and grotesque, [[violent]], and ritualistic sex. His more major works remain banned in many countries to the present day, even though some of them have been highly influential; ''Juliet'', a book released early in his career, has been imitated right up until the present, most recently by radical [[feminism|feminist]] [[Andrea Dworkin]].
