"Chacun a sa manie" is a dictum by Marquis de Sade, recorded in The 120 Days of Sodom (1785|1904)
A fuller version reads:
- "Chacun a sa manie; nous ne devons jamais ni blâmer , ni nous étonner de celle de personne."
The Seaver and Wainhouse English translation reads:
- "To each his own peculiar mania, we ought never blame nor wonder at another's."
