Elias Koteas Quotes

Thomas Daggett Did you ever notice how in the Bible, when ever God needed to punish someone, or make an example, or whenever God needed a killing, He sent an angel? Did you ever wonder what a creature like that must be like? A whole existence spent praising your God, but always with one wing dipped in blood. Would you ever really want to see an angel?

Geneticist You have specified hazel eyes, dark hair and fair skin. I've taken the liberty of eradicating any potentially prejudicial conditions. Premature baldness, myopia... alcoholism and addictive susceptibility... propensity for violence, obesity, etc.

Marie Freeman We didn't want... Diseases, yes, but--

Antonio Freeman We were just wondering if it's good to leave a few things to chance?

Geneticist We want to give your child the best possible start. Believe me, we have enough imperfection built in already. Your child doesn't need any more additional burdens. Keep in mind, this child is still you. Simply the best of you. You could conceive naturally a thousand times and never get such a result.

Thomas Daggett If you wanted to prove your side was right, Gabriel, so badly, why didn't you just ask Him? Why didn't you ask God?

Gabriel Because... He doesn't talk to me any more.

Simon Do you believe that you are a part of God's plan?

Thomas Daggett That's a complicated question.

Simon No it isn't.

Thomas Daggett I have my soul. And I have my faith. What do you have, angel?

Stuart You guys make me laugh. You're really funny. You stock up your cabinets with bottled water and flashlights, well, what do you think is going to happen when the shit really hits the fan? You know like earthquakes and flash floods just a lot of chaos and horror, people dying in the streets and you're sitting here nice and pretty with your bottled water. Now the guy next store has got one of these Who's gonna go thirsty? Him or you?

Thomas Daggett And in the end, I think it must be about faith, and if faith is a choice, then it can be lost - for a man, an angel, or the devil himself. And if faith means never completely understanding God's plan, then maybe understanding just a part of it - our part - is what it is to have a soul. And maybe in the end, that's what being human is, after all.

Lucifer Think, Thomas. What is the one thing essential to an angel, the thing that holds his entire being together?

Thomas Daggett Faith.

Lucifer And what would happen if that faith was tested, and an angel, like you, just didn't understand? Use that. Use it!

Charles Brunel You'll never get home.

Thomas Daggett Some people lose their faith because Heaven shows them too little. But how many people lose their faith because Heaven showed them too much?

Joseph He's also a hermaphrodite. He's got both male and female sex organs.

Thomas Daggett Think of the possibilities!

Joseph Yeah, you can be impotent and frigid all at the same time.
