“[The Devil] I sincerely love people--oh, so much of what has been said about me is slander!”

“I know what they said even if they would not say it to my face. People love to talk. They love to slander you if you have any substance.”

“What man ever openly apologizes for slander? It is not so much a feeling of slander as it is that of a massive lie, a misdeed not only to the slandered but also to those manipulated in the process. He has made them all, every one, his enemies, thereupon he is so overwhelmed with guilt that he will deny it until his grave.”

“Know this: I love you so fucking much. No other person has been to me what you are. No one else ever will be. - Beckett”

“...nothing has humbled me so much as your love. Right or wrong it may be, but true it is, and I tell you. Your love has been to me like God's own love, which makes the receivers of it kneelers.”

“Oh, poor, poor fellow!' said Mrs. Elliot with a remorse that was sincere, though her congratulations would not have been.”
