. . .As soon as a man, through lack of character, takes refuge in doctrine, as soon as crime reasons about itself, it multiplies like reason itself and assumes all the aspects of the syllogism. . . . The purpose of this essay is once again to face the reality of the present, which is logical crime, and examine meticulously the arguments by which it is justified.(p. 3)
Man's solidarity is founded upon rebellion, and rebellion, in its turn, can only find its justification in this solidarity. We have, then, the right to say that any rebellion which claims the right to deny or destroy this solidarity loses simultaneously its right to be called a rebellion and becomes in reality an acquiescence in murder. (p. 22)
Two centuries ahead of his time and on a reduced scale, Sade extolled totalitarian societies in the name of unbridled freedom. . . . The history and the tragedy of our times really begin with him. . . . Our times have limited themselves to blending, in a curious manner, his dream of a universal republic and his technique of degradation. Finally, what he hated most, legal murder, has availed itself of the discoveries that he wanted to put to the service of instinctive murder. Crime, which he wanted to be the exotic and delicious fruit of unbridled vice, is no more today than the dismal habit of a police-controlled morality. Such are the surprises of literature. (p. 46)
"When the ends are great," Nietzsche wrote to his own detriment, "humanity employs other standards and no longer judges crimes as such even if it resorts to the most frightful means." He died in 1900, at the beginning of the century in which that pretension was to become fatal.(p. 77)

Was immer wir tun, die Ma?losigkeit wird stets ihren Platz im Herzen des Menschen bewahren, wo die Einsamkeit beheimatet ist. Wir tragen alle unsere Kerker, unsere Verbrechen und Verheerungen in uns. Doch unsere Aufgabe ist es nicht, sie in der Welt zu entfesseln, sondern sie in uns und den anderen zu bek?mpfen. (S.340)Sehr lesenswert und immer noch aktuell. Gerade in Zeiten zunehmender Polarisierung und unvers?hnlicher Meinungen.
Die wahre Gro?z¨¹gigkeit der Zukunft gegen¨¹ber besteht darin, in der Gegenwart alles zu geben. (S.343)
