– The life on earth is totally focused on the eating of other creatures. It is like that, neither Aunt nor myself can do anything about it.
– These are horrible fantasies!
– That is just what I think. Think about what a horrible fantasy is required to invent all this ugliness. If God really once stood there with the nothingness. Think. Think, to stand there with peaceful nothingness the eternal peace and do all this. Yes, that's incredible. What can you say about such a source? It is crawling and creeping and flying and swimming and during the whole time big rapacious jaws are crunching. Such an excess of horrid fantasy.

– It is unfair of me to take away from any human being her illusions. It is as though I thought the truth had a certain value.

– There is the Murderer. Everybody look up at him. Everyone believes he is an honourable man. But I know the truth. He is the greatest murder of passion in all times. Almighty, eternal and blessed. He is listening with pleasure to the crunching.

– Life is just…yes, anyone with normal intelligence will soon notice that life is pure hell, right? Eat and be eaten, that's the law. Everything is about a common chewing. We shall all devour each other, that's the law for all life on earth. And the nature is predestined that the meal shall continue for million years. Yes, that's it, you know. It is like that and you nor me can't do anything about it.

– But deep in his heart, the man has a need to bite his fellow men. You see, war is the outlet for man's deep aspiration for it, you see. To, to torment his fellow men. Therefore war have always existed and will always exist. Yes, that's for sure. There are some occasional peace periods. At that time people will go around and contain themselves but…but in the end they will burst saying, damn we have to free ourselves and become human. But people like wars how the devil can't it be otherwise possible. Listen, think about it. Imagine if you were in any big town. Let us say Stockholm, Göteborg or Malmö, all towns are the same as you are not recognized, you know, nobody asks for you. But if you enter there in a conquering army. It's just that which man is dreaming of. To put his foot on the neck of the conquered, that tastes like yum, yum. You see, torment, kill, shoot, bully to issue prohibitions and still be celebrated for heroism and fulfilment of duty. That is to be the Devil and be hailed as God.

– You are too comic, sitting there and pretending to be benevolent and noble. It must be funny with people who try to deny the true nature of the humans.
– I really think the true nature of the humans is much more complicated than you can imagine.

– To Sergeant Knut Mosterson, I will give an important message. Even in medieval morality plays was the devil perceived as a comedy figure. End, please.

– I know, just as well as you do, that it's agonizing to be a human being submerged in the original sin, soiled by the animal instinct. The ridiculous and the trivial. Our situation is truly deplorable. We are living under the worst conceivable spiritual circumstances… We are all suffering in our human misery and the bitter truth is that, that we all are going to die in this. But I would be grateful if someone of the present would answer me this question: Are the woes of life ameliorated by the wailing of the likes of you?
