Famous quotes containing the word angels:

    Pardon, my Mother Church, if I consent
    That Angels led him when from thee he went,
    For even in Error sure no Danger is
    When joyn’d with so much Piety as His.
    Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)

    But as these angels, the only halted ones
    among the many who passed and repassed,
    trod air as swimmers tread water, each gazing
    on the angelic wings of the other,
    the intelligence proper to great angels flew into their wings,
    the intelligence called intellectual love....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    We, who have already borne on the road to Paradise the lives of the best among us, want a difficult, erect, implacable Paradise; a Paradise where one can never rest and which has, beside the threshold of the gates, angels with swords.
    J.A. (José Antonio)
