“Almost sixty years ago, just after midnight, a few feet from the river where they danced, a wonder of modern engineering occurred: overnight, the Berlin Wall arose. It was the night of August 15, 1961. Berliners awoke on the sixteenth to this marvel, more of a fence at first, concrete posts driven into the streets and festooned with barbed wire. They knew trouble would come but expected it in degrees. Life so often arrives all of a sudden. And who knows which side you will find yourself on?”

“I’m not good, little muse. My obsession with you is the only pure thing about me. Never forget that I’m your demon of music, Scarlett. You can’t expect me to behave like a gentleman when you beg like my whore.” ― Greer Rivers, Phantom
“The restaurant sits on a rock above the river and is very old and water stained in ways that would delight a painter and trouble a contractor.” ― Andrew Sean Greer, Less

“I'm pregnant with my demon of music's baby. He's my fiance and I'm living the life I've always dreamed of. Where happiness is just happines and his dakrness sings to mind. I am his muse, and he is mine. My Phantom of the French Quarter. My demon of music.” ― Greer Rivers, Phantom
“For two thousand years, maybe more,the ceremonies had been celebrated every autumn in the small town of Eleusis near Athens, becoming more famous and elaborate with the passing years. By Roman times, the mystery temple at Eleusis was a huge building half the size of a foot- ball field, and people came there from the far corners of the ancient world. All new initiates had to go through preliminary ceremonies at the river Ilissos in the month of Anthesterion, our February, in which they offered sacrifices, cleansed them-selves in the water, and listened to instruction. A year and a half later, in Boedromion (our September), they marched to Eleusis, arriving at dusk. They entered the temple, and the ceremony of initiation was enacted. No one today knows what it was, but ancient writers agreed that those who passed through it had no fear of death afterward.” ― John Michael Greer, The Occult Book: A Chronological Journey from Alchemy to Wicca
