You don't know, perhaps, but I will tell you; the brain is the palest of all the internal organs, and the heart the reddest. Whatever comes from the brain carries the hue of the place it came from, and whatever comes from the heart carries the heat and color of its birthplace. (Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.)

Demons also make predictions, but these are only guesses based on what they see from afar. View quote
