demon QUOTES

3 " The demon that you can swallow gives you its power, and the greater life’s pain, the greater life’s reply. "

― Joseph Campbell , The Power of Myth

5 " Astriola. That IS demon pox. You had evidence that demon pox existed and you didnt mention it to me! Et tu, Brute!' He rolled up the paper and hit Jem over the head with it. "

― Cassandra Clare , Clockwork Prince (The Infernal Devices, #2)

7 " Hate. Huh. He'd never hated himself. If anything, he'd always liked himself a little too much. Once, a human female had even accused him of picturing his own face while he climaxed. He hadn't denied it, either, and next time he'd slept with her, he'd made sure to scream, " Strider" at the pivotal moment." --Strider, keeper of the demon of Defeat-- "

9 " Whatever demon invented stiletto-heeled boots should roast in hell... "

― Cherise Sinclair , Lean on Me (Masters of the Shadowlands, #4)

11 " I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to. "

― C.S. Lewis , Mere Christianity

13 " While Maddox now believed the demon did not want to hurt Ashlyn, he wasn't willing to take a chance. He would talk about flowers and moonbeams - he cringed - if it meant maintaining this delectable inner peace." Is there a way to break your death-curse?" Ashlyn asked. So much for flowers and moon-beams. "

15 " Some rumors said she was a demon from another world. Other rumors said she was death incarnate, someone to remind us of our misdeeds. But no one had said how beautiful she was. No one had mentioned her eyes. The ones that showed color only for a second. A hint of beauty in absolute blackness. "

― Shannon A. Thompson , July Thunder (Bad Bloods, #3)

17 " ....but talking to a ghost about a demon when you’re in a room full of people who can’t see either of them is not to be recommended. "

― Kerstin Gier , Saphirblau (Edelstein-Trilogie, #2)

19 " From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone.
Then- in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life- was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still:
From the torrent, or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that round me rolled
In its autumn tint of gold,
From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by,
From the thunder and the storm,
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view. "

― Edgar Allan Poe ,
