Inkwell bottom, quill nib freedom

Sade, a brilliant writer, was put in a lunatic asylum for his erotic depictions, but his writings continued and circulated widely. The authorities, the so-called righteous people, broke him, but they could not destroy his freedom, the freedom at the bottom of the ink bottle, the freedom of the quill tip, the freedom to tell stories.
The body is sometimes limited by external conditions, the mind is not, and the expression of thoughts is free. Even if this idea is not accepted by the society at that time, it is your freedom to write or not to write, and no one can stop it. In the movie, Sade didn't have a quill, so he used bone dipped in red wine to write on the sheets and blood on his clothes... Unless he died, he just wanted to write, to write those "degenerate" and "crazy" story. Writing is his instinct and will not abandon it.
