That's why it's better for rich, clever, beautiful and strong people to be humble in order not to draw the hatred of those around them.

You ask how I know so much about demons and their sins. I have nothing to hide, this book is the lament of my own soul, I wrote all about myself. My whole life has been spent on the edge of the abyss of fear. My whole life has been a hell of misery, pain and torment. My whole life is a hell of stupidity, malice, and my innumerable vices. You know, I'm not even a fallen angel, I was born that way. I've never had anything like wings... I had nothing. I was a brainless, armless, legless, blind and deaf caterpillar from the darkest depths of hell. The only thing that was strange about me was that I loved flowers and envied butterflies.
