“There is freedom waiting for you,
On the breezes of the sky,
And you ask "What if I fall?"
Oh but my darling,
What if you fly?”

“Uvijek me fascinirao taj fenomen sa slikama. Stoje na zidu godinama, a onda, bez ikakvog povoda, ama baš ikakvog padnu, tras, padnu dole. Vise okačene o ekser, niko ih i ne pipne, ali one u jednom trenutku, tras, padnu dole, kao kamen. U savršenoj tišini, dok je sve oko njih nepomično, ni muha da proleti, a one, tras. Ne postoji nikakav razlog.Zašto baš u tom momentu? Niko ne zna. Tras. Šta se to dogodilo jednom ekseru te on zaključi da mu je svega dosta? Ima li i on dušu, jadnik? Donosi li odluke? Dugo je razgovarao sa slikom, nisu mogli da se dogovore šta da rade, pričali su o tome svake večeri, godinama, a onda su odredili datum, sat, minutu, tren, upravo sada, tras. Ili su za to znali već od samog početka, njih dvoje, sve je već bilo ugovoreno, znaš ja ću da popustim za sedam godina, što se mene tiče nema problema, ok., onda smo se dogovorili za 13. maj, ok., oko šest, neka bude petnaest do šest, važi, onda laku noć, ‘ku noć. Sedam godina kasnije, 13. maj, petnaest do šest: tras. Nikom nije jasno. To je jedna od onih stvari o kojima je bolje ne misliti, u protivnom možeš da poludiš. Kada padne slika. Kada se probudiš, jednog jutra, i više je ne voliš. Kad otvoriš novine i vidiš da je počeo rat. Kad vidiš neki voz i pomisliš ja moram da odem odavde. Kad se pogledaš u ogledalo i shvatiš da si ostario...”

“Crowley had always known that he would be around when the world ended, because he was immortal and wouldn’t have any alternative. But he hoped it was a long way off. Because he rather liked people. It was major failing in a demon. Oh, he did his best to make their short lives miserable, because that was his job, but nothing he could think up was half as bad as the stuff they thought up themselves. They seemed to have a talent for it. It was built into the design, somehow. They were born into a world that was against them in a thousand little ways, and then devoted most of their energies to making it worse. Over the years Crowley had found it increasingly difficult to find anything demonic to do which showed up against the natural background of generalized nastiness. There had been times, over the past millennium, when he’d felt like sending a message back Below saying, Look we may as well give up right now, we might as well shut down Dis and Pandemonium and everywhere and move up here, there’s nothing we can do to them that they don’t do to themselves and they do things we’ve never even thought of, often involving electrodes. They’ve got what we lack. They’ve got imagination. And electricity, of course. One of them had written it, hadn’t he…”Hell is empty, and all the devils are here.”
