Fallen Angel/Quotes

""I began to behold Satan already fallen like lightning from heaven.""

- Jesus, Luke 10:18

"Angels never came down There's no one here they want to hang around But if they knew, if they knew you at all Then, one by one, the angels The angels would fall"

- Melissa Etheridge, "Angels Would Fall"

""Devils... do not differ in nature from good angels, but their nature is depraved. Devil is the opposite of angel only as Bad Man is the opposite of Good Man. Satan, the leader or dictator of devils, is the opposite, not of God, but of Michael.""

- CS Lewis, introduction to The Screwtape Letters

""When we have understood about free will, we shall see how silly it is to ask, as somebody once asked me: 'Why did God make a creature of such rotten stuff that it went wrong?' The better stuff a creature is made of--the cleverer and stronger and freer it is--then the better it will be if it goes right, but also the worse it will be if it goes wrong. A cow cannot be very good or very bad; a dog can be both better and worse; a child better and worse still; an ordinary man, still more so; a man of genius, still more so; a superhuman spirit best--or worst--of all.""

- CS Lewis, Mere Christianity Book 2
