Famous quotes containing the word devil:

    When the Devil quotes Scriptures, it’s not, really, to deceive, but simply that the masses are so ignorant of theology that somebody has to teach them the elementary texts before he can seduce them.
    Paul Goodman (1911–1972)

    And the Devil did grin, for his darling sin
    Is pride that apes humility.
    Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

    But then in novels the most indifferent hero comes out right at last. Some god comes out of a theatrical cloud and leaves the poor devil ten thousand-a-year and a title.
    Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
