FAUST
\[…\]
Who art thou, then?

MEPHISTOPHELES
Part of that Power, not understood,
Which always wills the Bad, and always works the Good.

FAUST
What hidden sense in this enigma lies?

MEPHISTOPHELES
I am the Spirit that Denies!

#Quote of the #day

"#MEPHISTOPHELES

I am the #Spirit that #denies
And #justly so: for all #things from the #Void
Called #forth deserve to be #destroyed
'#Twere better, then, were #naught #created
#thus all which you as #Sin have #rated
#Destruction,—#aught with #Evil #blent,—
That is my proper #element "
