"I don't believe in angels, no. But I do have a wee parking angel. It's on my dashboard and you wind it up. The wings flap and it's supposed to give you a parking space. It's worked so far"
- Billy Connolly
About this Quote
In this quote, Billy Connolly is revealing his uncertainty towards the existence of angels. However, he does think in a "parking angel" - a little figurine on his control panel that he end up and its wings flap, apparently bringing him luck in finding a parking space. Regardless of his disbelief in standard angels, Connolly has actually found comfort in this small ritual and has actually seen success in discovering parking areas. This quote might be interpreted as an amusing take on superstitious notions and the power of belief, as well as a reflection of how even the most hesitant of people can still keep particular beliefs or practices.
