Here below is a fascinating quote by French writer and man of letters , Paul Valery ,

' Instead of expelling the devil with a pitchfork you can offer him a chair, ask him to
describe in detail the kingdoms he affects to offer, haggle with him, pester him with questions and (while he goes on droning blandishments in your ears ) dissect the desires you feel welling up within you ' .
