"Tumbling, burning with white hot fire, I plunged into the depths of the abyss. Unspeakable pain, relentless agony, time ceased to exist. Only this torture and a deepening hatred of the hypocrisy that damned me to this hell. An eternity passed and my torment receded, bringing me back from the precipice of madness. The descent had destroyed me...and yet I lived."

Gabriel: Why is it... when people like you see something pure and good and beautiful... that you have to kick it down and drag it through the mud?
Constantine: If you have to ask, you'll never know. Anyway, as enjoyable as all this is... if you're going to be working for me, you'll have to smarten up a bit. Those wings will stick out a mile, mate. Not to worry, though. You just leave it to your Uncle John. [brings out a chainsaw]

"Flight is not a luxury. It is what makes me garuda. My skin crawls when I look up at roofs that trap me. I want to look down at this city before I leave it, Grimnebulin. I want to fly, not once, but whenever I will. I want you to give me back flight."
