Arturo Pérez-Reverte Quote

—Ya sabe usted que, según la Cábala, Dios posee un nombre terrible y secreto... —El Tetragrammaton. —Eso es. En sus cuatro letras se apoyan la armonía y el equilibrio del universo... Se lo adivirtió el arcángel Gabriel a Mahoma: Dios está oculto por setenta mil velos de luz y tiniebla. Y si esos velos se alzaran, hasta yo sería aniquilado... Pero Dios no es el único en tener un nombre así. También el diablo tiene el suyo: una combinación de letras espantosa, maléfica, cuya pronunciación lo convoca... Y desencadena terribles consecuencias.
