Faust: "Did not my conjuring raise thee? Speak."(Christopher Marlowe, The Tragical History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus c. 1594)
Mephostophilis: "That was the case, but yet per accidens:
For when we hear on rack the name of God, abjure the scriptures and his savior Christ. We fly in hope to get his glorious soul. Nor will we come unless he use such means, whereby he is in danger to be damn'd. Therefore the shortest cut for conjuring is stoutly to abjure all godliness and pray devoutly to the prince of hell."

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
