◆ Buy a gift for a dog, and you'll be amazed at the way it will dance and swerve its tail, but if don't have anything to offer to it, it won't even recognize your arrival; such are the attributes of fake friends.

- Michael Bassey Johnson99

◆ I have never understood why people who can swallow the enormous improbability of a personal God boggle at a personal Devil.

- Graham Greene99

◆ I handed them a script and they turned it down. It was too controversial. It talked about concepts like, 'Who is God?' The Enterprise meets God in space; God is a life form, and I wanted to suggest that there may have been, at one time in the human beginning, an alien entity that early man believed was God, and kept those legends. But I also wanted to suggest that it might have been as much the Devil as it was God. After all, what kind of god would throw humans out of Paradise for eating the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. One of the Vulcans on board, in a very logical way, says, 'If this is your God, he's not very impressive. He's got so many psychological problems; he's so insecure. He demands worship every seven days. He goes out and creates faulty humans and then blames them for his own mistakes. He's a pretty poor excuse for a supreme being.

- Gene Roddenberry99

◆ The Devil's out of fashion.

- Dodie Smith99

◆ You don't buy all the clothes in the market. You choose slowly and carefully, asking the prices for each before buying. The same way you choose your friends, by looking into their lives carefully, before taking any as a companion, then dropping those that are not relevant.

- Michael Bassey Johnson99

◆ Dean, you've been to Hell, I started the Apocalypse, and we're supposed to be possessed by an archangel and the devil. Now you're being skeptical?

- Keith R.A. DeCandido99

◆ You want to be bad, angel? I can teach you every position it comes in

- Debra Anastasia99

◆ God saves - but not now, and not here. His salvation is on layaway. Like all grifters, He asks you to pay now and take it on faith that you will receive later. Whereas women offer a different sort of salvation, more immediate and fulfilling. They don't put off their love for a distant, ill-defined eternity but make a gift of it in the here and now, frequently to those who deserve it least. So it was in my case. So it is for many. The devil and woman have been allies against God from the beginning...

- Joe Hill99

◆ The devil is an optimist if he thinks he can make people worse than they are.

- Karl Kraus99

◆ That wasn't blood. It was love. It pours out of you when you lose faith.

- Debra Anastasia99

◆ The Devil teaches women what they are – or they would teach it to the Devil if he did not know.

- Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly99

◆ The best way to drive out the devil, if he will not yield to texts of Scripture, is to jeer and flout him, for he cannot bear scorn.

- Martin Luther99

◆ Down there the nights are bright and nobody believes in the Devil.

- Cornelia Funke99

◆ For in Paris, whenever God puts a pretty woman there (the streets), the Devil, in reply, immediately puts a fool to keep her.

- Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly99

◆ Be careful who you trust remember the devil is a jack of all traits.

- Damian Stafon99
