“The person who takes every opportunity to "pick on" others is often mistakenly called "sadistic". In reality, this person is a misdirected masochist who is working towards his own destruction. The reason a person viciously strikes out against you is because they are afraid of you or what you represent, or are resentful of your happiness. They are weak, insecure, and on extremely shaky ground when you throw your curse, and they make ideal human sacrifices.”
― Anton LaVey, The Satanic Bible

“Satan has been the best friend the church has ever had, as he has kept it in business all these years!”
― Anton LaVey, The Satanic Bible

“Satan has certainly been the best friend the church has ever had, as he has kept it in business all these years.”
― Anton Szandor LA Vey, The Satanic Bible

“Satanism has been frequently misrepresented as “devil worship”, when in fact it constitutes a clear rejection of all forms of worship as a desirable component of the personality.”
― Anton Szandor LaVey, The Satanic Bible
