During the Seven Years' War, De Sade, who had not yet turned 16, received his baptism of fire with the rank of lieutenant in command of four companies of filibusters.

De Sade, in love with a young noblewoman from Lacoste, Mademoiselle de Laurais de Vacqueyras, and who had already expressed to his father his desire to marry for love, nevertheless agreed to his father's imposition.

Nature makes man born alone, and there is no kind of relationship between one man and another. The only rule of conduct, then, is that man should prefer whatever is best for him, without considering the consequences this decision may bring to his neighbor. The greatest pain of others always counts less than his own pleasure, and it matters nothing to buy the weakest joy in exchange for a series of disasters, for enjoyment flatters and is within man, but the effect of crime does not reach him and is outside of him.
