“Exactly. You know what it says in the Book of Job.” “Remind me.” “Well, Satan is there in heaven, with God. God says, where have you been? And Satan says, roaming around the earth! It’s a regular conversation. And they begin arguing about Job. Satan believes Job’s goodness is founded entirely upon his good fortune. And God agrees to let Satan torment Job. This is the most nearly true picture of the situation which we possess. God doesn’t know everything. The Devil is a good friend of his. And the whole thing is an experiment. And this Satan is a far cry from being the Devil as we know him now, worldwide.” “You’re really speaking of these ideas as if they were real beings …”

“Faeries, come take me out of this dull world,
For I would ride with you upon the wind,
Run on the top of the dishevelled tide,
And dance upon the mountains like a flame.”
― William Butler Yeats, The Land of Heart's Desire

“I have learned how to love. And it's a terrible thing. I'm broken. My heart is broken. Help me.”
― Kate DiCamillo, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane

“Pero nada podría darme aquella libertad, nada. Las libertades que me daba ella no
significaban nada para mí; su poder no era, en definitiva, sino un grado más del que todos poseíamos. Y lo que poseen todos nunca ha facilitado la contienda; más bien la ha convertido
en una agonía, por más que se gane o se pierda.”
― Anne Rice
