"When God created Adam He did not endow his body with wings as He did for birds, but held in reserve for him the wings of the Holy Spirit. Namely, the wings that He will give him at the moment of the resurrection, so that they may lift and carry him where the Spirit wills. The saints possess these wings henceforth to fly away in mind towards heavenly thoughts."
The Spiritual Homilies of Saint Macarius the Egyptian (5:25).
