Lake of Darkness Quotes

“Isn't that, she asked herself, just another way of saying that I ought to find the devil strange and alien and upsetting? When the truth is we allow the devil into our lives easily, without hiccough, all the time? It rarely feels like we have invited in a disruption. . There's no revulsion, no startlement, the devil slips into our day-to-day, whispering in our ears, confirming our prejudices, nudging us a little further along the way we already yearned to go. We all know it. The devil does not affront us, for if he did he would not be able to seduce us.”
― Adam Roberts, Lake of Darkness
