"Secrecy is, alas, only too easy" remarks de Sade, "and there us not a libertine some little way gone in vice, who does not know what a hold murder has on the senses ... There is no better way to know death than to link it with some licentious image"
from Eroticism, Death and Sensuality by Georges Bataille
"Bataille and Sade are people with an intellectual project: to explore the scope of transgression."
from Susan Sontag The Pornographic Imagination (essay appended to the Story of the Eye, Georges Bataille)
When pornography moves out of the kitsch area of timeless, placeless fantasy and into the real world then it loses its function of safety valve. The more it acquires the techniques of literature or art the more deeply subversive it is likely to be."
