"And you, liar, teller of tall
tales: you trample
all the Lord's
commandments
underfoot, you murder, steal,
commit adultery, and afterward break
into tears, beat your breast
take down your guitar and
turn the sin into
a song. Shrewd devil, you know
very well that God pardons singers no
matter what they do
because he can simply
die for a song..."

from The Last Temptation of Christ
by Nikos Kaztantzakis
