Devil Quotes (page 12)

I know he has a bad nature,' said Catherine; 'he's your son. But I'm glad I've a better, to forgive it; and I know he loves me and for that reason I love him. Mr Heathcliff, you have nobody to love you; and, however miserable you make us, we shall still have the revenge of thinking that your cruelty arises from your greater misery! You are miserable, are you not? Lonely, like the devil, and envious like him? Nobody loves you - nobody will cry for you, when you die! I wouldn't be you! Emily Bronte
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "[...] let us go with all our "devils" to the help of our "god"!"
[...] let us go with all our "devils" to the help of our "god"! Friedrich Nietzsche
Comrade, I did not want to kill you. . . . But you were only an idea to me before, an abstraction that lived in my mind and called forth its appropriate response. . . . I thought of your hand-grenades, of your bayonet, of your rifle; now I see your wife and your face and our fellowship. Forgive me, comrade. We always see it too late. Why do they never tell us that you are poor devils like us, that your mothers are just as anxious as ours, and that we have the same fear of death, and the same... Erich Maria Remarque
If the fall of man consists in the separation of god and the devil the serpent must have appeared out of the middle of the apple when Eve bit like the original worm in it, splitting it in half and sundering everything which was once one into a pair of opposites, so the world is Noah's ark on the sea of eternity containing all the endless pairs of things, irreconcilable and inseparable, and heat will always long for cold and the back for the front and smiles for tears and mutt for jeff and no... Diane Arbus
Gilbert K. Chesterton quote: "The devil takes us to the top of an exceeding high mountain..."
The devil takes us to the top of an exceeding high mountain and makes us dizzy; but God lets us look at the mountain. Gilbert K. Chesterton
Jeanette Winterson quote: "The important things. Where should I find them? In the detail,..."
The important things. Where should I find them? In the detail, like God? In the risk, like the Devil? Jeanette Winterson
Everything I have written up to now is trifling compared to that which I would like to write and would write with great pleasure...Either I am a fool and a self-conceited person, or I am a being capable of becoming a good writer; I am displeased and bored with everything now being written, while everything in my head interests, moves, and excites me--whence I draw the conclusion that no one is doing what is needed, and I alone know the secret of how it should be done. In all likelihood... Anton Chekhov
Henry David Thoreau quote: "I will not through humility become the devil's attorney"
I will not through humility become the devil's attorney Henry David Thoreau
L. M. Montgomery quote: "He was a cat of double personality - or else, as Susan vowed,..."
He was a cat of double personality - or else, as Susan vowed, he was possessed by the devil. L. M. Montgomery
I hold my peace, sir? no; No, I will speak as liberal as the north; Let heaven and men and devils, let them all, All, all, cry shame against me, yet I'll speak. William Shakespeare
James Baldwin quote: "No man is a devil in his own mind."
No man is a devil in his own mind. James Baldwin
If religious books are not widely circulated among the masses in this country, I do not know what is going to become of us as a nation. If truth be not diffused, then error will be. If God and His Word are not known and received, the devil and his works will gain the ascendency. If the evangelical volume does not reach every hamlet, the pages of a corrupt and licentious literature will. If the power of the gospel is not felt throughout the length and breadth of this land, anarchy and misrule,... Daniel Webster
I raise my glass to the Awful Truth, Which you can't reveal to the Ears of Youth, Except to say it isn't worth a dime, And the whole damn place goes crazy twice, And it's once for the Devil and once for Christ Leonard Cohen
William Shakespeare quote: "To hell, allegiance! Vows, to the blackest devil! Conscience..."
To hell, allegiance! Vows, to the blackest devil! Conscience and grace, to the profoundest pit! I dare damnation William Shakespeare
It's not all bad. Heightened self-consciousness, apartness, an inability to join in, physical shame and self-loathing—they are not all bad. Those devils have been my angels. Without them I would never have disappeared into language, literature, the mind, laughter and all the mad intensities that made and unmade me. Stephen Fry
