Quotes 

• Lucifer : Little Tommy Daggett. How I loved listening to your sweet prayers every night. And then you'd jump in your bed, so afraid I was under there. And I was!

• Lucifer : Do you know what Hell really is, Thomas? It's not lakes of burning oil or chains of ice. It's being removed from God's sight, having His Word taken from you. It's hard to believe. so hard. I know that better than anyone.

• Lucifer : I can lay you out and fill your mouth with your mother's feces, or we can talk.

• Lucifer : Other angels have made this war because they hate you, you and all humans. God has put you in his grace and pushed them aside. They're desperate. They've never been able to conquer the other loyal angels, and so this war has remained in stalemate for thousands of years. And while this state of affairs endures no soul can meet its god. Your parents, and their parents, and so on from the beginning lie still in wormy earth. Of course, some of them do come to me eventually, for while heaven may be closed I am always open, even on Christmas.

• Lucifer : Humans... and how I love you talking monkeys for this... know more about war and treachery of the spirit than any angel.

• Lucifer : You see, I'm not here to help you little bitch because I love you or because I care for you, but because two hells is one hell too many, and I can't have that.

• Lucifer : I was the first angel, loved once above all others...

  [singing] 

  Lucifer : But like all true love... one day it withered on the vine...

• [Thomas has refused Lucifer's offer to "come home" with him] 

  Thomas Daggett : I have my soul. I have my faith. What do you have, angel?

  Lucifer : Leave the light on, Thomas.

• Gabriel : This war is mine!

  Lucifer : Your war is arrogance. That makes it evil. That's mine.

  Gabriel : Lucifer. Sitting in your basement. Sulking over your break up with the boss. You're nothing.

  Lucifer : Time to come home, Gabriel.

• Lucifer : God? God is love. I don't love you.

• Lucifer : [shrill whisper]  I love you! I love you more than Jesus!

• Lucifer : You know what Hell really is Thomas? It's not lakes of burning oil or chains of ice. It's being removed from God's sight. It's hard to believe... so hard.

• Lucifer : Think, Thomas, think. What is the one thing essential to an angel... the thing that holds his entire being together?

  Thomas Daggett : Faith, faith, faith.

  Lucifer : And what would happen if that faith was tested and an angel, just like you didn't understand? Use that. Use it!
