Folks--

 

I'm a new subscriber, so I'm not sure whether this is

an appropriate question--nevertheless, here goes--

 

A friend reports that in "Cape Fear,"  the Robert DeNiro

character delivers a speech that he attributes to a 17th (?)

century philosopher named something like Selatious (Salacious(?))

 

I haven't seen the movie myself, so I don't know--is this a made

up quote?  A real one?  Anybody know?

 

Thanks for any response.
