Results from Classic Quotes:

They say that Heaven is like TV... a perfect little world, that doesn't really need you.: Laurie Anderson, Strange Angels
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.: Bible, Hebrews xiii. 2.
Well I was out in my four door With the top down. And I looked up and there they were: Millions of tiny teardrops Just sort of hanging there And I didn't know whether to laugh or cry And I said to myself: What next big sky?: Laurie Anderson, Strange Angels
I do the very best I know how-the very best I can; and I mean to keep doing so until the end. If the end brings me out all right, what is said against me won't amount to anything. If the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference.: Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865), Francis Carpenter, Six Months at the White House, 1867

If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself.: James Madison (1751 - 1836), The Federalist Papers, 1788

Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

...to emphasize the afterlife is to deny life. To concentrate on Heaven is to create hell. In their desperate longing to transcend the disorderliness, friction, and unpredictability that pesters life; in their desire for a fresh start in a tidy habitat, germ-free and secured by angels, religious multitudes are gambling the only life they may ever have on a dark horse in a race that has no finish line.": Tom Robbins (1936 - ), _Skinny Legs and All_, 1990, p. 305.
In the mirrorlike relationship between wine and human beings, Zinfandel owned more reflective properties than any other grape; in its infinite mutability, it was capable of expressing almost any philosophical position or psychological function. As a result, its own "true" nature might never be known.: David Darlington, from his novel Angels Visits: An Inquiry into the Mystery of Zinfandel
