The purely corporeal can be uncanny. Compare the way angels and devils are portrayed. So-called "miracles" must be connected with this. A miracle must be, as it were, a sacred gesture.

 
Ludwig Wittgenstein
 

Children don't read to find their identity, to free themselves from guilt, to quench the thirst for rebellion or to get rid of alienation. They have no use for psychology... They still believe in God, the family, angels, devils, witches, goblins, logic, clarity, punctuation, and other such obsolete stuff... When a book is boring, they yawn openly. They don't expect their writer to redeem humanity, but leave to adults such childish illusions.

 
Isaac Bashevis Singer
 

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

 
Nikos Kazantzakis
 

Doesn't matter now, devils who paint angels.

 
Anne Rice
 

We should become angels and not devils, that’s why we have been created and born into the world. Therefore be and stick to what God has chosen you for.

 
Paracelsus
