She was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen, a tiny, bloody angel in the snow, and they were going to destroy her.

About This Quote

In this quote from the film “A Beautiful Mind,” John Nash explains that his wife, Alicia, was a “tiny, bloody angel” that he loved. And that his life would be incomplete without her. In the film, Nash describes Alicia as a “tiny, bloody angel” in the snow because she was so small and fragile-looking. She would have been much more vulnerable to the cold and could have been injured or killed in a fall. The word “tiny” implies that Alicia was small and delicate looking, as if she were made of porcelain rather than flesh and blood.
