"(I am )part of the power that always wants the ill and always produces the good." In Faust part I, Faust encounters a large black dog (called Pudel), who turns into Mephistopheles. Mephisto. kinda introduces himself by saying that.
Got is tott means God is dead. A famous quote by Neitzsche as quoted in Thus Spake Zarathustra:
God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we, murderers of all murderers, console ourselves? That which was the holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet possessed has bled to death under our knives. Who will wipe this blood off us? With what water could we purify ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we not ourselves become gods simply to be worthy of it?" - Nietzsche, Also sprach Zarathustra

I think it was to "Got ist tott" that Woody Allen once remarked, "Not only is there no God, but try getting a plumber on weekends."
