Цитаты из книги Рога

— Со сколькими девушками бывал ты вместе? За всю свою жизнь? Иг удивленно вздрогнул. Он много раз видел на ее лице эту нахмуренную, так шедшую ей концентрацию, но при этом она никогда его не пугала. — Ты сама знаешь ответ, — сказал он. — Никого, кроме меня. А ведь никто так не делает. Никто не живет всю свою жизнь с первым человеком, с которым он переспал. Во всяком случае — в наше время. Ни один человек на планете. Должны быть и другие связи. По крайней мере две или три. — Это так ты это называешь? «Связи»? Изящненько и со вкусом. — Хорошо, — сказала Меррин. — Ты должен сперва потрахаться с несколькими другими девушками.

Satan has long been known as the Adversary, but God fears women even more than He fears the devil—and is right to. She, with her power to bring life into the world, was truly made in the image of the Creator, not man, and in all ways has proved Herself a more deserving object of man’s worship than Christ, that unshaven fanatic who lusted for the end of the world. God saves—but not now, and not here. His salvation is on layaway. Like all grifters, He asks you to pay now and take it on faith that you will receive later. Whereas women offer a different sort of salvation, more immediate and fulfilling. They don’t put off their love for a distant, ill-defined eternity but make a gift of it in the here and now, frequently to those who deserve it least. So it was in my case. So it is for many. The devil and woman have been allies against God from the beginning, ever since Satan came to the first man in the form of a snake and whispered to Adam that true happiness was not to be found in prayer but in Eve’s cunt.

It is a matter of faith that the soul must be guarded, lest it be ruined and consumed, - Ig told them. - Christ himself forewarned his apostles to beware him who would destroy their souls in Hell. I advise you now that such a fate is a mathematical impossibility. The soul may not be destroyed. The soul goes on forever. Like the number pi, it is without cessation or conclusion. Like pi it is a constant. Pi is an irrational number, incapable of being made into a fraction, impossible to divide from itself. So, too, the soul is an irrational, indivisible equation that perfectly expresses one thing: you. The soul would be no good to the devil if it could be destroyed. And it is not lost when placed in Satan’s care, as is so often said. He always knows exactly how to put his finger on it.
