Default Pull quotes for a hypothetical second edition

OK, I know it's unlikely. And they'd never need as many as we could come up with. But it's fun and who knows?

To start with:

Celestial Hearts
"It is the heart that carries one to heaven."
--Anonymous African-American proverb

The Marches
"Fairy-stories are made by men, not by fairies."
--J.R.R. Tolkien

Redemption
"A demon can get into real trouble, doing the right thing."
--Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, Good Omens

Falling
"Him the Almighty Power
Hurled headlong flaming from th' ethereal sky
With hideous ruin and combustion down
To bottomless perdition..."
--John Milton, Paradise Lost

Fate and Destiny
"I leave to the various futures (not to all) my garden of forking paths"
--Jorge Luis Borges

Balseraphs

“It’s not enough to be able to lie with a straight face; anybody with enough gall to raise on a busted flush can do that. The first way to lie artistically is to tell the truth – but not all of it. The second way involves telling the truth, too, but is harder: Tell the exact truth and maybe all of it ... but tell it so unconvincingly that your listener is sure you are lying.”
– Lazarus Long, in Time Enough for Love, by Robert A. Heinlein

Backwards In Nomine

“Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth.”
– C.S. Lewis, The Humanitarian Theory of Punishment
