Quotations

You cannot love everyone; it is ridiculous to think you can.  If you love everyone and everything you lose your natural powers of selection and wind up being a pretty poor judge of character and quality.  If anything is used too freely it loses its true meaning.  Therefore, the Satanist believes you should love strongly and completely those who deserve your love, but never turn the other cheek to your enemy.

-- Anton Szandor LaVey

I'm in league with the Devil as much as any mortal can possibly be.

-- Anton Szandor LaVey (1970 in the documentary film "Satanis")

I take the Devil as a symbol of cunning adaptability and the mastery inherent in those with dynamic spirits and minds, but I also see the Devil as inherently elite, and not a fan of petty human sentimentality.  A hero for humanity?  No, that implies a savior figure.  Those who groveled at the feel of the mother church have no place in my Devils heart.  A hero for the self autonomous?  That's more like it.
