"He is hardly alone in that. But you're right, I suppose. And your belief, or rather, your ignorance has quite often paved the way for fantastical things."

"Like as not it's dead, now. Neither demons nor angels are particularly predisposed to nuturing, for the most part. They don't understand it."
