1 " All stories are lies. But good stories are lies made from light and fire. And they lift our hearts out of the dust, and out of the grave. "
― Mike Carey , Lucifer, Vol. 11: Evensong
2 " Truth isn't handed *down*, brother. You beat it out with *hammers* and anneal it in your own *blood*. "
3 " Yahweh: You've been unhappy because you've desired things that cannot be.Lucifer: That's what desire IS. The need for what we can't have. The need for what's readily available is called greed. "
4 " Be yourself, until you bleed. "
5 " On into the void he flies, unafraid. There is nothing in mere absence that can cow him. Or loneliness. Or the lack of maps and charts. For he is his own path. And he sees by his own light. We watch him from a great distance. From a vantage point no less subjective, no less absolute. And so it's hard to tell whether he imposes himself on the emptiness, or becomes it. "
