Devils

Famous quotes containing the word devils:

    The reason Milton wrote in fetters when he wrote of Angels & God, and at liberty when of Devils & Hell, is because he was a true Poet, and of the Devil’s party without knowing it.
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    Right as the humour of melancholy
    Causeth full many a man in sleep to cry
    For fear of blacke bears, or bulles black,
    Or elles blacke devils will them take.
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)

    Ultimately a hero is a man who would argue with the gods, and so awakens devils to contest his vision. The more a man can achieve, the more he may be certain that the devil will inhabit a part of his creation.
    Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
