Albert Camus
“Mother used to say that however miserable one is, there’s always something to be thankful for. And each morning, when the sky brightened and light began to flood my cell, I agreed with her.”
Albert Camus, The Stranger

William Peter Blatty
“And as [Jesus] stepped ashore, there met him a man from the city who was possessed by demons … Many times it had laid hold of him and he was bound with chains … but he would break the bonds asunder … And Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” And he answered, “Legion.” —LUKE 8:27–30”
William Peter Blatty, The Exorcist

William Peter Blatty
“I think the demon’s target is not the possessed; it is us … the observers … every person in this house. And I think—I think the point is to make us despair; to reject our own humanity, Damien: to see ourselves as ultimately bestial, vile and putrescent; without dignity; ugly; unworthy. And there lies the heart of it, perhaps: in unworthiness. For I think belief in God is not a matter of reason at all; I think it finally is a matter of love: of accepting the possibility that God could ever love us.”
William Peter Blatty, The Exorcist

Ernest Hemingway
“it is the considered belief of the writer of this book that wars are fought by the finest people that there are, or just say people, although, the closer you are to where they are fighting, the finer people you meet; but they are made, provoked and initiated by straight economic rivalries and by swine that stand to profit from them. I believe that all the people who stand to profit by a war and who help provoke it should be shot on the first day it starts by accredited representatives of the loyal citizens of their country who will fight”
Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms

Ken Kesey
“To Vik Lovell who told me dragons did not exist, then led me to their lairs ...”
Ken Kesey, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
