Quotes About Devil

Maybe we're assigning Achilles supernatural powers," said Petra. "He isn't a god. Not even a hero. Just a sick kid." "No," said Bean. "I'm a sick kid. He's the devil." "Well, so," said Petra, "maybe the devil's a sick kid.
~ Orson Scott Card
A man's at odds to know his mind cause his mind is aught he has to know it with. He can know his heart, but he dont want to. Rightly so. Best not to look in there. It aint the heart of a creature that is bound in the way that God has set for it. You can find meanness in the least of creatures, but when God made man the devil was at his elbow.

Es un gran misterio. El hombre no puede conocer su mente porque la mente es el único medio de que dispone para conocerla. Puede conocer su corazón, pero no quiere. Y hace bien.

The New-Englanders are a People of God settled in those, which were once the Devil's Territories; and it may easily be supposed that the Devil was exceedingly disturbed, when he perceived such a People here accomplishing the Promise of old made unto our Blessed Jesus, That He should have the Utmost parts of the Earth for his Possession.
~ Cotton Mather
Since the Devil is come down in great wrath upon us, let not us in our great wrath against one another provide a Lodging for him.

T]he secret is that the ego is the devil — not the shadow... there is evil beyond the ego — an archetypal evil — but for most people, it's the ego that's really the problem.
~ D. Patrick Miller
If you go back to that psychological document we call the New Testament, you'll find that it says the devil is 'the father of lies. Now the shadow never lies; it's the ego that lies about its real motives. That's why successful psychotherapy, and any genuine religious conversion, requires absolute honesty about oneself.

Il Diavolo è l'uomo più onesto a camminare su questa Terra, aveva detto Coydog. Ti offre il suo tesoro e ti prende l'anima. Lo chiamano il Principe dei Bugiardi, ma non è diverso da un barista: paghi il tuo bel nichelino e ti bevi il veleno che hai scelto.
~ Walter Mosley

IT'S RATHER ODD THAT in the wake of the bloodiest century in history—a twentieth century in which scores of millions of human beings were shot, starved, gassed, blown apart, and incinerated with superhuman ingenuity—even many religious leaders are embarrassed to talk about the devil (Pope Francis is a notable exception). In fact, it's more than odd. It's revealing.
~ Charles J. Chaput
If we don't believe in the devil, sooner or later we won't believe in God. Try as we might, and as awkward as it might be for our own peace of mind, we can't cut Lucifer out of the ecology of salvation. The supernatural is real, and his existence is near the heart of this world's confusion, fears, sufferings, and spiritual struggles.

Sometimes I think that hell is two places: it's a place you end up, but it's also a place that you live before you get there. I don't know if the devil's got horns and a spear for a tail, but I don't think that's the point. The point is that hell is separate from love. If Lucifer knows anything, he knows that. And ever since Emma left, I'd known the same thing. It's a lonely, desolate place.
~ Charles Martin
