Well, actually I look at the book and the movie [Deliver Us From Evil] - the movie isn't about a cop or the Devil, it's about God. There's a spirituality.

Moderation...is lukewarm tea, the devil's own brew.

That hope is science.

What is love? There is nothing in the world, neither man nor Devil nor any thing, that I hold as suspect as love, for it penetrates the soul more than any other thing.

Prayer goes everywhere and lays its hand upon everything.
