“It is indeed a mistake to confuse children with angels”
“The undisciplined mind confuses misfortune with mistakes.”
“Do the other angels know what they are doing? Am I the only confused one? Maybe I am unfinished, an unfinished angel.”
“The two commonest mistakes in judgement ... are, the confounding of shyness with arrogance - a very common mistake indeed - and the not understanding that an obstinate nature exists in a perpetual struggle with itself.”
“No. It is said that the Nephilim are the children of men and angels. All that this angelic heritage has given to us is a longer distance to fall.”
“I shake my head. "Remember, Mother. There are no mistakes." She smiles through her tears, leaning in to kiss my cheek "No mistakes, my angel.”
