“A perfectly evil Devil makes even less sense than a perfect God.”

“Some things are just perfect, even when they don't make any sense”

“It is as evil as we are positive...the more desperately we try to be good and wonderful and perfect, the more the Shadow develops a definite will to be black and evil and destructive... The fact is that if one tries beyond one's capacity to be perfect, the Shadow descends to hell and becomes the devil.”

“I have no fear of God, and yet fear keeps me awake at night,fear of the devil. And if I believe in the devil, I must believe in God. And if evil is abhorrent to me, I must be a saint.Henry, save me from beatification, from the horrors of static perfection. Precipitate me into the inferno.”

“because being with you makes perfect sense”

“Like sin itself, Satan appeals to the senses. He originated and perfected the art of disguising evil as good.”
