quotations about angels

Angel quote

In Heaven an angel is nobody in particular.

GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

Man and Superman

Tags: George Bernard Shaw, Heaven


Six wings he wore, to shade his lineaments divine; the pair that clad each shoulder broad, came mantling o'er his breast with regal ornament; the middle pair girt like a starry zone his waist, and round skirted his loins and thighs with downy gold, and colours dipp'd in heaven; the third his feet shadow'd from either heel with feather'd mail, sky-tinctur'd grain.

JOHN MILTON

Paradise Lost

Angels and Demons can't cross over into our plane. So, instead we get what I call half-breeds. The influence peddlers. They can only whisper in our ears. A single word can give you courage, or turn your favorite pleasure into your worst nightmare. Those with the demon's touch and those part angel, living alongside us. They call it the balance.

KEVIN BRODBIN, MARK BOMBACK & FRANK CAPELLO

Constantine


Angels appear to transcend all cultures, races, and systems. They are a part of human history and civilization, sometimes at the forefront, other times in the shadows, but they are always there. They don't belong to any one particular religion, although many modern people try to associate them with Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. No one religion holds total responsibility for the belief in angels. In truth, these religions only support the existence of angels, they didn't create them.

Angels are around us, angels beside us, angels within us.

Angels are bright still, though the brightest fell.

Be an angel to someone else whenever you can, as a way of thanking God for the help your angel has given you.

EILEEN ELIAS FREEMAN

The Angels' Little Instruction Book: Learning from God's Heavenly Messengers


For when God said, "Let there be light, and there was light," if we are justified in understanding in this light the creation of the angels, then certainly they were created partakers of the eternal light which is the unchangeable Wisdom of God, by which all things were made, and whom we call the only-begotten Son of God.

ST. AUGUSTINE

City of God

Tags: St. Augustine


I ... believe that angels, or something like them, sometimes live among us, hidden within our fellow human beings.

JOHN PERRY BARLOW

Tags: John Perry Barlow


If angels stoop from visions of more than earthly beauty to spells of less than earthly worth, they are but fallen angels, mingling divine utterances with the babblings of madness, and the madness is not the divineness.

The desire of power in excess caused the angels to fall; the desire of knowledge in excess caused man to fall.

The more devils we have within us, the more chance we have to form angels.

NIKOS KAZANTZAKIS

The Last Temptation of Christ

Tags: devil


We all are men, in our own natures frail, and capable of our flesh; few are angels.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

Henry VIII

Tags: William Shakespeare


We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another.

LUCIANO DE CRESCENZO

attributed, Wisdom for the Soul: Five Millennia of Prescriptions for Spiritual Healing


We should, can and most of the time do communicate with God directly. To my knowledge, angels are not necessary for anything. But God's creation is abundant, and asking "Why angels?" would be like asking why there are thousands of varieties of trees or stars, when we could get along with so much less. God Himself told us many times that He was sending angels to love and care for us, so He is the one who brought them into our lives. Therefore, even if we don't understand their entire purpose, I vote that we pay attention to them.

Ambition first sprung from your blest abodes; The glorious fault of Angels and of Gods.

ALEXANDER POPE

Angels are manifestations, unquestionably real to those who encounter them, of a world larger, better, and infinitely more beautiful, intelligent, and anchored in the reality of God than ours is. The existence of angels drives home the fact that we are not lost and alone in this modern flatland of materialism, but come from, and will return to, another, better place.

Angels are winged with God's power.

SOLON

attributed, Day's Collacon

Tags: God, power


But angels come to lead frail minds to rest in chaste desires, on heavenly beauty bound. You frame my thoughts, and fashion me within; you stop my tongue, and teach my heart to speak.

EDMUND SPENSER

Tags: Edmund Spenser


I am a believer in angels, though not the picture-book kind with wings and harps. Such angelic accoutrements seem as nonsensical to me as devils sporting horns and carrying pitchforks. To me, angel wings are merely symbolic of their role as divine messengers.
