It is the devil's money going back to hell.” IfsLittlesSeemsDesireCertainWinningGrowsChallengesChanceHellGoes OnJokesDevilFortuneCuriosityExcitedDelusionGamblingVagueWoe Book:The Land of Cockayne (Matilde Serao) (Literary Thoughts Edition) Source: The Land of Cockayne (Matilde Serao) (Literary Thoughts Edition)
“The problem of good and evil is not the problem of good and evil, but only the problem of evil. In opposition to good there are evil characters, but there are no good characters in opposition to evil. Evil is arguable, but good is not.

“The Devil has seldom done a cleverer thing that hinting to the Church that part of their mission is to provide entertainment for the people, with a view to winning them.

Either way (this was Jumpy's point) it's the Devil who wins.” IfsWayYearsTwoBookWinningProductsReturnLuckyDevilGainsEternityAgreeContractsDozenDrsPosterityPactFaustusInvert Book:The Satanic Verses Source: The Satanic Verses
