devil

You came here of your own free will, Claire. I won__ be denied. You__e mine now, and I intend to keep you.

... you cannot shake hands with the Devil and not get sulphur on your sleeve.

For as from the same piece of clay a potter may fashion either a pot or a tile, so the Devil may shape a witch into a wolf or a cat or even a goat, without subtracting from her and without adding to her at all. For this occurs just as clay is first molded into one, then shaped into another form, for the Devil is a potter and his witches are but clay.

The problem is not in what the devil is doing, but in what we are doing about it

When you love someone, truly love them, you lay your heart open to them. You give them a part of yourself that you give to no one else, and you let them inside a part of you that only they can hurt-you literally hand them the razor with a map of where to cut deepest and most painfully on your heart and soul. And when they do strike, it__ crippling-like having your heart carved out.

Never can true reconcilement grow where wounds of deadly hate have pierced so deep...

I grouped my fellow employees into three categories: the plebes, the damned, and the demons.

There's only room for one hero in this story-and everyone knows the devil doesn't get to be the good guy.

Not entirely fair?" His voice became that of the inferno: a rushing, booming howl of icy evil that flew around the great cavern, as swift and cold as the Wendigo on skates. "I am Satan, also called Lucifer the Light Bearer..."Cabal winced. What was it about devils that they always had to give you their whole family history?"I was cast down from the presence of God himself into this dark, sulfurous pit and condemned to spend eternity here-""Have you tried saying sorry?" interrupted Cabal."No, I haven't! I was sent down for a sin of pride. It rather undermines my position if I say 'sorry'!

We need to remember not to give the devil a chance and fall away from God__ grace

A clue is a key which unlocks_a box full of keys - those peculiarly tempting arrangements of_circumstance and fate_are points of departure which_lead to infinite realms of mystery that_beckon with the taboo of hidden knowledge._ I am compelled to follow where the curling finger of_intrigue_flits seductively among shadows whose origins lie in primeval_antiquity._ The Forbidden Occult is forever enshrined in the luminous_cathedral of my imagination.__Every philosopher's stone I look_under carries my mind_aloft on the fairy_wings of discovery to ever higher treasures of exponentially expanding conscious awareness.

Then Apollyon straddled quite over the whole breadth of the way, and said "I am void of fear in this matter. Prepare thyself to die; for I swear by my infernal den, that thou go no farther: here will I spill thy soul.

I think the devil will not have me damned, lest the oil that's in me should set hell on fire.

He loved the extensive vaults where you could hear the night birds and the sea breeze; he loved the craggy ruins bound together by ivy, those dark halls, and any appearance of death and destruction. Having fallen so far from so high a position, he loved anything that had also fallen from a great height

I__ like to say it could have been worse. I__ sure lots of people hate their job, or their boss, or the people they work with. I just couldn__ relate to those people. They have options. They can quit their job, move out of town, or drop off the grid. The only option I had was a guaranteed one-way ticket to Hell when I died, and that didn__ include dental.

Never do the eyes of the devil shine as much as when he hears the words: liberty, equality, fraternity.

Whenever the devil harasses you, seek the company of men or drink more, or joke and talk nonsense, or do some other merry thing. Sometimes we must drink more, sport, recreate ourselves, and even sin a little to spite the devil, so that we leave him no place for troubling our consciences with trifles. We are conquered if we try too conscientiously not to sin at all. So when the devil says to you: do not drink, answer him: I will drink, and right freely, just because you tell me not to.

Some people think the devil is one being. I think the devil is when many beings come together to do terrible things. You are looking at the Terrible.
