I suppose I believe in a devil, but it's not terribly important to me. I mean, I believe that the human race fell away from God, why not some angels? And if there are fallen angels, why wouldn't they have a leader? But I wouldn't really be shaken up if somebody proved to me there wasn't a devil.

"The Germans believe that power must reveal itself in hardness and cruelty and then submit themselves gladly and with admiration[...]. They do not believe readily that there is power in meekness and calm."
