Top 10 Best Quotes

“Well, that's history for you, folks. Unfair, untrue and for the most part written by folk who weren't even there.”
“Change isn't always comfortable, but it is a fact of life.”
“A demon, if you prefer the term; although to be honest, the difference between god and a demon is really only a matter of perspective.”
“Work. Like pain, I sensed that this was an experience I would want to avoid as often as possible.”
“Loki, that's me. Loki, the Light-Bringer, the misunderstood, the elusive, the handsome and modest hero of this particular tissue of lies.”

“An apple a day keeps the doctor away. No one's immune to bribery.”
“There were a few compensations to having corporeal Aspect. Food (jam tarts were my favourites); drink (mostly wine and mead); setting things on fire; sex (although I was still extremely confused by all the taboos surrounding this - no animals, no siblings, no men, no married women, no demons - frankly, it was amazing to me that anyone had sex at all, with so many rules against it).”
