Quote by Marquis de Sade
Wolves which batten upon lambs, lambs consumed by wolves, the strong who immolate the weak, the weak victims of the strong: there you have Nature, there you have her intentions, there you have her scheme: a perpetual action and reaction, a host of vices, a host of virtues, in one word, a perfect equilibrium resulting from the equality of good and evil on earth.
Summary
This quote, by Marquis de Sade, suggests that the existence of both good and evil, strength and weakness, in the natural world reflects a delicate balance orchestrated by nature herself. It highlights the perpetuation of a cycle where the strong overpower and victimize the weak, while the weak are consumed and exploited by the strong. Through this interplay, both vices and virtues arise, ultimately creating a state of equilibrium. This portrayal serves as a dark commentary on the innate struggles and contradictions within the natural order.
