“What would become of the world without the Devil? Under all the different systems of religion that have guided or misguided the world for the last six thousand years, the Devil has been the grand scapegoat. He has had to bear the blame of every thing that has gone wrong. All the evil that gets committed is laid to his door, and he has, besides, the credit of hindering all the good that has never got done at all. If mankind were not thus one and all victims to the Devil, what an irredeemable set of scoundrels they would be obliged to confess themselves!” IfsWorldYearsHas BeensDifferentDoneWould BeLastsEvilGoneDoorsMankindBearsThousandSixDevilVictimBlameCommittedCreditThousand YearsObligedMisguidedScoundrelsScapegoat Book:Zoe: The History of Two Lives Source: Zoe: The History of Two Lives

“He who sups with the devil had better have a long spoon. The devilry of modernity has its own magic: The [believer] who sups with it will find his spoon getting shorter and shorter--until that last supper in which he is left alone at the table, with no spoon at all and with an empty plate. The devil, one may guess, will by then have gone away to more interesting company.” MayLongLastsLeftInterestingCompanyGoneMagicDevilEmptyTablesBelieverPlatesModernitySpoonsLeft AloneSupperGone AwayLast Supper Author:Peter L.
