Even the good angels, I think, would inspire in humans some sort of fear.

That's l'amour: we willingly walk into the future blindfolded.

Since the Middle Ages, people have been writing about angels. Angelology was actually at one point a scholastic discipline.

When I was little, I went to a Catholic school and was required to go to church every morning and with my parents on Sundays, so I spent a lot of time sitting on a wooden pew. Angels are sort of a relief. If you're looking around, the other imagery is so dark and heavy. Looking at the beautifully rendered pictures of angels was more uplifting.

People don't actually think there is such a thing out there as angel research.

These moments were wondrous and divine, instances when the gossamer curtain between heaven and earth ripped and all of humanity witnessed the marvel of the ethereal beings.

Reckless action is worse than wise restraint.
