“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.”

“A perfectly evil Devil makes even less sense than a perfect God.”

“The kingdom of God is a crash-bang opera: the king is dramatic, demanding, and unavoidable.”

“There's a devil inside me which cries, "You're not the son of the Carpenter, you're the son of King David! You are not a man, you are the Son of man whom Daniel prophesied." And still more: "The Son of God! And still more: God!"”

“The truth is that even the devil himself believes in the existence of God.”

“When God makes a beautiful woman, the devil opens a new register. ”

“If you aim at a Scottish presbytery, it agreeth as well with monarchy, as God and the devil. … No bishop, no King!”

“King Lear: What is your name?
Kent / Caius: Caius.
King Lear: And whence do you hale?
Kent / Caius: From Bonking, Sire.
King Lear: Well, yes, lad as do we all.”

“God exists since mathematics is consistent, and the Devil exists since we cannot prove it.”

“This is a plot, if ever there was one, to illustrate King Lear's complaint, "As flies to wanton boys, are we to the gods; They kill us for their sport." I am aware this is the second time in two weeks I have been compelled to quote Lear, but there are times when Eminem simply will not do.”
