What tricks does the devil play on you?
Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tunes without the words
And never stops at all.
Poem by Emily Dickinson, Hope is the Thing with Feathers
The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth (Church of Satan)
I hope I never get so old I get religious.
Quotation from Ingmar Bergman
If I’d had some set idea of a finish line, don’t you think I would have crossed it years ago?
Quotation from Bill Gates
oh Ingmar, you never said it so well

Some of his flics are brilliant, Bergman that is. The suicidal melancholy of the Scandinavian soul captured in a nutshell with a masterly of camera direction…
As for the devil, to hell with him.
“He” is not squandering your retirement investments, but perhaps “he” is continuously luring and sneaking around with new stimulus-packages to prolong the hellish economy as we know it, preventing real change.
Now smart Sera, what did you mean with:

(no, i’m not comparing you to a comfortable shoe).
You overestimate my ability of cognition – I simply don’t get this one… my brain is frozen stuck.

I like your quotes. Perhaps all that’s “devilish” in the world is what lurks in the hearts of men. GREED! The simple is usually right!
I love the quotes, especially the one by Bergman.

When there is gloom and despair the temptation is to think there can be no hope. But crossing the threshold of hope is devilishly difficult.

Easy to blame the devil, but ultimately we are the ones to blame.
