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

  2. A quotation from Christopher Marlowe

    FAUSTUS: Where are you damn’d?
    MEPHISTOPHILIS: In hell.
    FAUSTUS: How comes it, then, that thou art out of hell?
    MEPHISTOPHILIS: Why, this is hell, nor am I out of it

       Am not tormented with ten thousand hells,
       In being depriv’d of everlasting bliss?

    Christopher "Kit" Marlowe (1564-1593) English dramatist and poet
    The Tragicall History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus, Act 1, sc. 3 (sc. 3), l. 317ff (1594; 1604 “A” text)
