Angels

Famous quotes containing the word angels:

“when such bodies join
There is no touching here, nor touching there,
Nor straining joy, but whole is joined to whole;
For the intercourse of angels is a light
Where for its moment both seem lost, consumed.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“It is not because angels are holier than men or devils that makes them angels, but because they do not expect holiness from one another, but from God only.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)

“Entertaining angels unawares: It is always we who are to entertain the angels, and never they us. I cannot, however, think that an angel would be a very entertaining person, either as guest or host.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
