Angel Quotes
-
One would have to be as unenlightened as an angel or an idiot to imagine that the human escapade could turn out well.
Emil Cioran

I had a dream, in 1985, I believe, when a friend I'd gone to school with was sick - one of the first people I knew who'd gotten the AIDS virus. I had a dream of him in his bedroom with an angel crashing through the ceiling. I wrote a poem called 'Angels in America.' I've never looked at the poem since the day I wrote it.
Tony Kushner

I shall not have it judged by any man, not even by any angel. For since I am certain of it, I shall be your judge and even the angels’ judge through this teaching (as St. Paul says 1 Cor. 6:3) so that whoever does not accept my teaching may not be saved - for it is God’s teaching and not mine.
Martin Luther

William Gilmore Simms
