1 " Writers are the exorcists of their own demons. "
― Mario Vargas Llosa
2 " Jesus was surely not the first exorcist to walk the shores of the Sea of Galilee. In first-century Palestine, professional wonder worker was a vocation as well established as that of woodworker or mason, and far better paid. Galilee especially abounded with charismatic fantasts claiming to channel the divine for a nominal fee. Yet from the perspective of the Galileans, what set Jesus apart from his fellow exorcists and healers is that he seemed to be providing his services free of charge. "
― Reza Aslan , Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth
