“All the demons of Hell formerly reigned as gods in previous cultures. No it's not fair, but one man's god is another man's devil. As each subsequent civilization became a dominant power, among its first acts was to depose and demonize whoever the previous culture had worshipped. The Jews attacked Belial, the god of the Babylonians. The Christians banished Pan and Loki anda Mars, the respective deities of the ancient Greeks and Celts and Romans. The Anglican British banned belief in the Australian aboriginal spirits known as the Mimi. Satan is depicted with cloven hooves because Pan had them, and he carries a pitchfork based on the trident carried by Neptune. As each deity was deposed, it was relegated to Hell. For gods so long accustomed to receiving tribute and loving attention, of course this status shift put them into a foul mood.”

“It is a fact verified and recorded in many histories that soul capable of the greatest good is also capable of the greatest evil. Who is there more impious than backsliding priest? Who more carnal than a recent virgin? This, however, may be a matter of appearance.”

“Kitaplar bir bakıma başarılmış, tamamlanmış şeylerdir. Oysa hayat başarılamayan ve tamamlanmayan şeylerle doludur. Siz dalgaların arasında boğuşurken edebiyatçılar kıyıda güneşlenip matélerini yudumlarlar. Maté, çünkü en iyi Güney Amerikalılar kıvırıyor bu edebiyat işini.”
