Arthur MillerUntil an hour before the Devil fell, God thought him beautiful in Heaven.
About This Quote
The nature of the Devil can be described as imperfect. Unfortunately, that same nature is shared by many people who cannot distinguish right from wrong. Once someone has fallen into sin, they will most likely continue to do so. That does not mean that the person was not beautiful in Heaven; it means that they were a bundle of potential at the beginning of their journey to Hell.
