"They used to call the devil the father of lies. But for someone whose sin is meant to be pride, you'd think that lying would leave something of a sour taste. So my theory is that when the devil wants to get something out of you, he doesn't lie at all. He tells you the exact, literal truth. And he lets you find your own way to hell."
Mr. Easterman, Lucifer #10: "Children and Monsters, Part 1"

Gabriel, Supernatural

"We're talking about the discovery of yet another body; another one of God's creatures found mutilated and desecrated nearly beyond recognition. We ask ourselves, who could've done such a thing? What fiend created in God's own image could be so vile and sinister? What degenerate, what God-less piece of filth could have committed such a heinous act? What calculated purveyor of pain and misery? I'll tell you; An impostor of humanity, a demon hiding in man's skin and bones. A soul-less vessel of hate and depravity. And we know his name. Satan is among us, people. He walks our streets..."

Ever since first man has walked this earth, I have been here,
To whisper seeds of doubt and evil thoughts into his ear.
I am the Beast, the outcast angel, fallen from on high.
I go by many names, but there is one you can't deny.
Stephen Lynch, "Beelz"

"Through the corridors of darkness, on the wings of man's desire,
Conjured by the soulless ones at the everlasting fire.
Borne on waves of insanity from man's primeval past,
The mantra of the tumult has awakened him at last!"

Kingdoms to fall one by one
Victim to fall for temptations
A daughter to fall for a son
The ancient serpent deceiver
The masses standing in awe
He will ascend to the heavens
Above the stars of God"
Ghost (Band), "Year Zero"

    Religion and Myth 
How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! You said in your heart, “I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.” But you are brought down to the realm of the dead, to the depths of the pit.
Isaiah 14:12-15 (New International Version)

And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him. And the LORD said unto Satan: 'The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan, yea, the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee; is not this man a brand plucked out of the fire?'
Zechariah 3:1-2 (JPS Tanakh)

And the LORD said unto Satan, Where dost thou come from? Then Satan answered the LORD and said, From going to and fro in the earth and from walking up and down in it.
Job 1:7 (JPS Tanakh)

The sower soweth the word. And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
Jesus, Mark 4:14-15 (King James Version)

So the great dragon was thrown out - the ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the one who deceives the whole world. He was thrown to earth, and his angels with him.
Revelation 12:9 (Christian Standard Bible)

    Video Games 
His Smile fair as spring, as towards him he draws you
His tongue sharp and silvery, as he implores you
Your wishes he grants, as he swears to adore you
Gold, silver, jewels - he lay riches before you
Dues need be repaid, and he will come for you
All to reclaim, no smile to console you
He'll snare you in bonds, eyes glowin' afire
To gore and torment you until the stars expire.
Gaunter O'Dimm's theme, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

"Beware, sweetling, a beast stalks Sheol. It crosses mountains and leaves walls and weapons broken.
Initiate the King James Protocol. The code is 9 and 18. The password is "Revelations." Transmit!
Beware the three traitors. Brutus, Cassius, and Judas Iscariot march in Sheol, demon-chewed and filled with hate. But the demons and the wicked dead are a shadow of a shade compared to their master. Beware the beat of his wings.
Initiate the verboten secrets.
The Enemy remembers all Ages. When it becomes necessary to utter a name, we shiver. And that name is Eblis. He is one of the builders. He helped construct Hell in the time before time before time. When it becomes necessary to utter a word, we shudder. And that word is Nephilim. He is one of the fallen Host. Gaia still remembers his tinkering."
The Buzzing, The Secret World

    Web Original 
"For too long, so many lies and so much misinformation have been spread about Satan. RHP religions have for far too long, written the book on how they believe him to appear, how they believe Demons to look and these are nothing but blasphemous lies. He is not red with horns and a tail, nor does he look like a Halloween monster. He does not have flaming red eyes or rubbery wings. These depictions are intended to insult, denigrate, and blaspheme him. Contrary to Satanism being labeled as "darkness," Satan appears wearing a long white robe, [and looks more or less human.]"

    Western Animation 
"I am Beezelbub, Lucifer, The Reaper of Souls, The Really Angry One, I am SATAN!!!!!"

"In case you ain't heard, I'm the Devil
I'm a real lowdown, not on the level
They call me Old Scratch, Mister S., the Big D.
I'm the king of the Underworld; yeah, it's great to be me!"

    Real Life 
"We must give Satan the benefit of the doubt. God wrote all the evidence."

"I do not fear Satan half so much as I fear those who fear him."
St. Theresa of Avila

"The devil can cite the Scriptures for his purpose; but the eternal true devil can cite The Simpsons for his purpose."
Roger X. Carasso

"Satan fell by force of gravity, by taking himself too gravely."
