To his readers: "Filthy hypocrites. Leave me in peace. Fuck away like unsaddled asses but allow me to say 'fuck.' I allow you the action. Allow me the word. You boldly use words like 'kill,' 'steal,' 'betray' all the time but only dare to pronounce that word under your breath. Might it be that the less you allow such supposed impurities to pass your lips the more they remain in your thoughts?" Diderot, Jacques The Fatalist
