“A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. — 'Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.' — Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.”

“I'm not dumb. I just have a command of thoroughly useless information.”

“It was all about control. They were all so sure that somebody else had it. The world was full of both terrible and wonderful things. When they couldn't understand something, they saw a conspiracy orchestrated by the powerful. The human mind was designed to recognise patterns and often saw them where none existed.”
― Dave Turner, How To Be Dead #1-3

“So, to answer your question, there may be others that approach you from, let’s say, the competition. A wee bit of a power struggle at the moment for control of the underworld. Nothing to be concerned about.” “Right. Two devils fighting it out for control of Hell.” “Hardly,” he said and chuffed. “Actually, considering where our world is right now… that explains a lot.”
