    Paulo Coelho
    “You experienced pain yesterday and you discovered that it led to pleasure.You experienced it today and found peace.That's why I'm telling you:Don't get used to it,because it's very easy to become habituated:it's a very powerful drug.It's in our daily lives,in our hidden sufferings,in the sacrifices we make,blaming love for the destruction of our dreams.Pain is frightening when it shows its real face, but it's seductive when it comes disguised as sacrifice or se-denial.Or cowardice.However much we may reject it,we human human beings always find a way of being with pain,of flirting with it and making it part of our lives.”
    Paulo Coelho, Eleven Minutes

    Charles Bukowski

    Charles Bukowski
    “For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command nor faith a dictum. I am my own god. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.”
    Charles Bukowski

    Kinky Friedman
    “My dear,
    Find what you love and let it kill you.
    Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness.
    Let it kill you and let it devour your remains.
    For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover.
    ~ Falsely yours”
    Kinky Friedman

    “So now I'm thinking about it. I'm imagining sitting down with my parents and actually saying, "I'm gay." And you know what? It makes me a little mad. I mean, straight guys don't have to sit their parents down and tell them they like girls.”

    Richard Kadrey, Butcher Bird

    J.M. Darhower
    “Ah, sin," Lucifer said. "Like the serpent that tricked Eve into eating the forbidden fruit. She devoured it, knowing she shouldn't."
    "And she was punished for it."
    "She was," Lucifer agreed. "But if you think for a moment she truly regretted it, you're wrong. That fruit was the most glorious thing she ever tasted—the sweetest, the ripest—and once you experience something so breathtaking, you never forget it. You never regret it.”
    J.M. Darhower, Extinguish

    Anne Rice, The Tale of the Body Thief

    Sarah MacLean
    “What does Éloa mean?”

    He narrowed his gaze, answered her literally. “It’s the name of an angel.”

    Penelope tilted her head, thinking. “I’ve never heard of him.”

    “You wouldn’t have.”

    “Was he a fallen angel?”

    “She was, yes.” He hesitated, not wanting to tell her the story, but unable to stop himself. “Lucifer tricked her into falling from heaven.”

    “Tricked her how?”

    He met her gaze. “She fell in love with him.”

    Penelope’s eyes widened. “Did he love her?”

    Like an addict loves his addiction. “The only way he knew how.”

    She shook her head. “How could he trick her?”

    “He never told her his name.”
    Sarah MacLean, A Rogue by Any Other Name

    Jonathan L. Howard
    “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'!”
    Jonathan L. Howard, Johannes Cabal the Necromancer

    Mike Carey
    “They used to call the devil the father of lies. But for someone whose sin is meant to be pride, you'd think that lying would leave something of a sour taste. So my theory is that when the devil wants to get something out of you, he doesn't lie at all. He tells you the exact, literal truth. And he lets you find your own way to hell.”
    Mike Carey

    “Check it out. I got a new name tag today." He unclipped it and held it out toward me.

    I looked at it. "A. GUY."

    He grinned. "Someone actually asked me what the A stood for," he said, his hand brushing mine as he took the tag back, sliding it into his pocket. "I said Larry.”
    Elizabeth Scott, Perfect You
