Mark Twain, Letters from the Earth: Uncensored Writings
"بعد طول أمد وكثرة استفهامات، نطق إبليس قائلاً: "العنكبوت يقتل الذبابة ويأكلها؛ الطائر يقتل العنكبوت ويأكله؛ السنور البري يقتل الإوز؛ و... حسناً، إنهم جميعاً يفتك بعضهم ببعض. ما هي إلا فتك مستمر لا ينقطع. هنا جموع لا تحصى من المخلوقات، وكلهم يقتلون، يقتلون، يقتلون، كلهم قتلة. وهم لا يُلامون، أيها الإله؟"

"After a long time and many questions, Satan said, "The spider kills the fly, and eats it; the bird kills the spider and eats it; the wildcat kills the goose; the -- well, they all kill each other. It is murder all along the line. Here are countless multitudes of creatures, and they all kill, kill, kill, they are all murderers. And they are not to blame, Divine One?"

"Satan had been making admiring remarks about certain of the Creator's sparkling industries -- remarks which, being read between the lines, were sarcasms."
"كان إبليس يُبدي إعجابه ببعض من صناعات الخالق الباهرة — إعجاباتٌ كانت، لمن يقرأ ما بين السطور، سخريةً لاذعة."

"Man is the Reasoning Animal. Such is the claim. I think it is open to dispute. Indeed, my experiments have proven to me that he is the Unreasoning Animal... In truth, man is incurably foolish. Simple things which other animals easily learn, he is incapable of learning. Among my experiments was this. In an hour I taught a cat and a dog to be friends. I put them in a cage. In another hour I taught them to be friends with a rabbit. In the course of two days I was able to add a fox, a goose, a squirrel and some doves. Finally a monkey. They lived together in peace; even affectionately. Next, in another cage I confined an Irish Catholic from Tipperary, and as soon as he seemed tame I added a Scotch Presbyterian from Aberdeen. Next a Turk from Constantinople; a Greek Christian from Crete; an Armenian; a Methodist from the wilds of Arkansas; a Buddhist from China; a Brahman from Benares. Finally, a Salvation Army Colonel from Wapping. Then I stayed away for two whole days. When I came back to note results, the cage of Higher Animals was all right, but in the other there was but a chaos of gory odds and ends of turbans and fezzes and plaids and bones and flesh--not a specimen left alive. These Reasoning Animals had disagreed on a theological detail and carried the matter to a Higher Court."
