Demonic Quotes (page 6)

Were this world an endless plain, and by sailing eastward we could for ever reach new distances, and discover sights more sweet and strange than any Cyclades or Islands of King Solomon, then there were promise in the voyage. But in pursuit of those far mysteries we dream of, or in tormented chase of the demon phantom that, some time or other, swims before all human hearts; while chasing such over this round globe, they either lead us on in barren mazes or midway leave us whelmed. Herman Melville
I'm awaiting a lover. I have to be rent and pulled apart and live according to the demons and the imagination in me. I'm restless. Things are calling me away. My hair is being pulled by the stars again. Anais Nin
Then the anguish increased to unendurable massivity and nightmare dimensions, making her scream and vomit. She wanted...to have her dark curls shaved to an aquamarine prickle, because they grew into her porous skull and curled inside. Jigsaw pieces of sky or wall came apart, no matter how delicately put together, but a careless jolt or a nurse's elbow can disturb so easily those lightweight fragments which became incomprehensible blancs of anonymous objects, or the blank backs of 'Scrabble'... Vladimir Nabokov

Everywhere I looked, demons of the future [were] on the battlegrounds of one’s emotional plane. David Bowie
Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout with some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven on by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand. George Orwell
The magician stood erect, menacing the attackers with demons, metamorphoses, paralyzing ailments, and secret judo holds. Molly picked up a rock. Peter S. Beagle
She had witnessed a conflict between two men who held her liberty in their hands, her very life and that of her child; one had sought to drag her deeper into darkness, the other to restore her to light. The two contestants, in the heightened vision of her terror, had seemed like giants, one speaking with the voice of a demon, the other in the tones of an angel. The angel had won, and what caused her to tremble from head to foot was the fact that this rescuing angel was the man she abhorred,... Victor Hugo

(...) An amalgam of sexual excess and demonic elegance, as likely to fuck you as tear out your heart. Clive Barker
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "Not necessity, not desire- no, the love of power isthe demon..."
Not necessity, not desire- no, the love of power isthe demon of men. Friedrich Nietzsche
Orson Scott Card quote: "Maybe that's all demons ever are. People like us, doing..."
Maybe that's all demons ever are. People like us, doing things without even knowing what we're doing. Orson Scott Card
Carrie Fisher quote: "There's no room for demons when you're self-possessed."
There's no room for demons when you're self-possessed. Carrie Fisher
What demon possessed me that I behaved so well? You may say the wisest thing you can old man,? you who have lived seventy years, not without honor of a kind? I hear an irresistible voice which invites me away from all that. Henry David Thoreau
The left one's the hospital, the right one's death. The right one steals your life while the left steals your breath. These hands are bad juju and the bad boogaloo, they're the teeth of the demon as he slides down the flue. James Ellroy
By the sacred earth on which I kneel, by the shades that wander near me, by the deep and eternal grief that I feel, I swear; and by thee, O Night, and the spirits that preside over thee, to pursue the demon who caused this misery, until he or I shall perish in mortal conflict. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
The road to hell is paved with good intentions. (This is not actually true. The raid to Hell is paved with frozen door-to-door salesman. On weekends, many of the younger demons go ice skating down it.) Terry Prachett
