Angel Quote by L.C. Barlow
““ There are no such things as angels, I thought to myself as I walked that path. There is only Cyrus, those who follow him, and those who sneak around him. Everything is a backwards dealing, a script where errors are miracles, and corrections are only a bullet away. As for good works, they are dangerous and impossible. Only the likes of demons can successfully complete them, and they know not wholly what they do. ””
