"Devils were devils. They did not belong to anyone, not Christ, not the Buddha--they were devils, malevolent spirits. They existed everywhere."

Black Narcissus (1947)

"When the devil has your body he knots it, makes ropes, pulls it together, ties it up, braids it, circles you, makes you strangle yourself with your own neck muscles, cut yourself with your own tissues, burst your own organs apart."

Bliss, Peter Carey
