Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or angel:

    There dwell the children of the dark Night, the dread gods Sleep and Death.
    Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)

    It is only for a little while, only occasionally, methinks, that we want a garden. Surely a good man need not be at the labor to level a hill for the sake of a prospect, or raise fruits and flowers, and construct floating islands, for the sake of a paradise. He enjoys better prospects than lie behind any hill. Where an angel travels it will be paradise all the way, but where Satan travels it will be burning marl and cinders.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
