“For the words of a vow are sacred not only among men and the angels, but among the demons as well.”
Howard Schwartz, Lilith's Cave: Jewish Tales of the Supernatural

“His Majesty [James VI & I] did much press for my opinion touching the power of Satan in matters of witchcraft; and asked me, with much gravity, if I did truly understand why the devil did work more with ancient women than others? I did not refrain from a scurvy jest, and even said (notwithstanding to whom it was said) that we were taught hereof in scripture, where it is told that the devil walketh in dry places... More serious discourse did next ensue...”
Sir John Harrington

“I can catch demons but people cry when I do that. And then I'm blamed for trying to control them. How convenient that the excuse of someone trapped in hell is that I'm manipulating her into getting out of it. That's how they see help, as an attack that must be defended at all cost. They can't see that their soul is in the hands of Satan already. He is the one instigating their fears and anger, as if they were just a puppet. They can't see that I pay a very heavy emotional, mental and physical price, every time I try to rescue one of the trapped souls, every time I love someone that doesn't know what love is anymore.”
Robin Sacredfire

“A la luz de la centralidad de Cristo se conoce el plan de Dios, que
creó todas las cosas buenas «por él y para él». Y se conoce la obra de
Satanás, el enemigo, el tentador, el acusador, por cuyo influjo entraron en
la creación el mal, el dolor, el pecado y la muerte. Y de ahí se desprende el
restablecimiento del plan divino, llevado a cabo por Cristo con su sangre”
Amorth Gabriele.

Rashawn Johnson
“Have you ever been pinned down, where you're unable to move and talk or can't even open your eyes? Have you ever experienced a troubling presence?”
Rashawn Johnson, How To Overcome Satan

Steven Seril, The Destroyer of Worlds: An Answer to Every Question

Rick Moody
“I should fictionalize it more, I should conceal myself. I should consider the responsibilities of characterization, I should conflate her two children into one, or reverse their genders, or otherwise alter them, I should make her boyfriend a husband, I should explicate all the tributaries of my extended family (its remarriages, its internecine politics), I should novelized the whole thing, I should make it multi-generational, I should work in my forefathers (stonemasons and newspapermen), I should let artifice create an elegant surface, I should make the events orderly, I should wait and write about it later, I should wait until I’m not angry, I shouldn’t clutter a narrative with fragments, with mere recollections of good times, or with regrets, I should make Meredith’s death shapely and persuasive, not blunt and disjunctive, I shouldn’t have to think the unthinkable, I shouldn’t have to suffer, I should address her here directly (these are the ways I miss you), I should write only of affection, I should make our travels in this earthly landscape safe and secure, I should have a better ending, I shouldn’t say her life was short and often sad, I shouldn’t say she had her demons, as I do too.”
Rick Moody, Demonology

“Catholic gossip and folklore, as one might term it, contributed to this demonizing legend around the conflict with the Protestants. At Geila in Brabant it was reported that the demons suddenly left all the possessed people, so that they could attend Luther's funeral[...] At St. Medard's Church in Paris the Calvinist iconoclasts allegedly broke all the winfows except that 'in gratitude' they left one which showed a red devil. In several other places, including St. Paul's in London, iconoclastic mobs left only depictions of devils untouched.”
Euan Cameron, Enchanted Europe: Superstition, Reason, and Religion, 1250-1750

“Angels and a demon-
She's in a thousand deserts
drowning in semen
Demons and an angel-
both just wanna hike their skirts;
take turns with the label
Well, bless their checkered hearts...”
Casey Renee Kiser, NightMARE Crush
