Check out these Good Omens quotes for a lighter look at the End Times.

Good Omens is a 1990 book that was collaborated on between two English authors, Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.

The book’s plot takes a lighter side on the view of the End Times by making it into a comedy.

The plot follows the birth of the son of Satan and how a comfortable angel and demon work to stop the End Times so that they can continue their comfortable lives in England.

Aziraphale is the angel, and Crowley is the demon, and both have been around since the beginning of Earth and, over time, have formed an odd type of friendship.

Over the years, these two have also taken a liking to humans and want them to continue.

When Crowly finds out that the son of Satan has been swapped for a different baby, he knows he has to stop this beginning of the End Times.

Aziraphale and Crowley decide to pose as the gardener and nanny to influence the son of Satan as he grows and keep him from being able to separate good from evil.
