Angels

Famous quotes containing the word angels:

“All the oxygen of the world was in them.
All the feet of the babies of the world were in them.
All the crotches of the angels of the world were in them.
All the morning kisses of Philadelphia were in them.”

Above your bed;
They weary of trooping
With the whimpering dead.”

Alternate shows of dynamite and rain;
And choosing forced on free will: fire or ice.”
