That's a good quote. I'm curious as to where it came from and what the context is. But what I get from it is that everything's relative. An angel in heaven is nobody in particular--there are angels everywhere in heaven, so they're just ordinary up there. Whereas an angel on earth is something extraordinary. So you can have the same person who is worshiped in one context and ignored in another.
