Sade's characters: Doing evil is its own reward really. You should be evil even if there's no material gain from it. Gratitude doesn't exist. If someone has treated you kindly, all the more reason to destroy them. Sade, saving his hated in-laws from the guillotine: Let's call it a revenge, ok? Sade, writing to Gaufridy whom he helped after the Thermidor: I've actually written so many petitions on behalf of other people I'm becoming something of an expert! Sade, leaving everything he can to Constance in his will: Look, she's my friend and she saved my life, I don't think I need to explain this any further.
