Famous quotes containing the word angels:

“Sad men made angels of the sun, and of
The moon they made their own attendant ghosts,
Which led them back to angels, after death.”

“There are so many intellectual and moral angels battling for rationalism, good citizenship, and pure spirituality; so many and such eminent ones, so very vocal and authoritative!

—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

“We sell the thrones of angels for a short and turbulent pleasure.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
