[On parents:] They're not gods to be pleased or devils to be exorcised. They're just there, and we can only hope they understand when we seem less than perfect. And try to understand, ourselves, when they're not all we'd like them to be.
Helen Van Slyke
Image
Nationalism must now be added to the refuse pile of superstitions. We are now citizens of the world, and the man who divides the race into elect Irishmen and reprobate foreign devils (especially Englishmen) had better live on the Blaskets where he can admire himself without disturbance.
George Bernard Shaw
Image
Somehow our devils are never quite what we expect when we meet them face to face.
Nelson DeMille
Image
The only devils in the world are those running around in our own hearts - that is where the battle should be fought.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Do Tasmanian devils really exist?
Tom Cochrane
Image
The Oresteia, King Lear, Dostoevsky's 'The Devils' no less than the art of Giotto or the 'Passions' of Bach, inquire into, dramatize, the relations of man and woman to the existence of the gods or of God.
George Steiner
Image
When your tongue can taste shadows and your friends are shedding tears, That's when you know that hell is empty 'cos all the devils are here.
Kate Tempest
Image
The blacklist was a time of evil...no one on either side who survived it came through untouched by evil...[Looking] back on this time...it will do no good to search for villains or heroes or saints or devils because there were none there were only victims.
Dalton Trumbo
Image
Gamesters and highwaymen are generally very good to their whores, but they are very devils to their wives.
John Gay
Image
We are our own devils we drive ourselves out of our Edens.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Gods suppressed become devils, and often it is these devils whom we first encounter when we turn inward.
Joseph Campbell
Image
The fiend with all his comrades Fell then from heaven above, Through as long as three nights and days, The angels form heaven into hell And them all the Lord transformed to devils, Because they his deed and word Would not revere.
Caedmon
Image
Devils are depicted with bats' wings and good angels with birds' wings, not because anyone holds that moral deterioration would be likely to turn feathers into membrane, but because most men like birds better than bats.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Pray earnestly and fast with purpose and devotion. Some difficulties, like devils, do not come out save by fasting and by prayer. Ask in righteousness and you shall receive. Knock with conviction and it shall be opened unto you.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Image
Idolatry is committed, not merely by setting up false gods, but also by setting up false devils by making men afraid of war or alcohol, or economic law, when they should be afraid of spiritual corruption and cowardice.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Image
Overcome the devils with a thing called love.
Bob Marley
Image
Though an angel should write, still 'tis devils must print.
Thomas Moore
Image
Devils may be nothing but beings intent on their purpose, which now happens to collide with yours.
Fritz Leiber
Image
You're damn right we need a rational code of morality and ethics. But not much progress can be made in that direction while we've still got a majority ranting about gods, devils, souls, and absolute morality, and using an ancient book written by ignorant nomads as a guide.
Doug Graham
Image
More details, more devils.
George R. R. Martin
Image
We are the living devils.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Pious XII was too neutral to mention the gas chambers decent people like my own family were turned into devils by crude Christianity.
Lionel Blue
Image
It's the one thing that the Devils have always prided themselves on. That comes from recruiting. We try and pick out the players who not only have the on-ice skills, but the off-ice skills too. I think in any job, if you have good people and you work together, you work better.
Gerad Adams
Image
If my devils are to leave me, I'm afraid my angels will take flight as well.
Rainer Maria Rilke
