Bad Alias:
I remember that the line was used twice, but I don't remember the exact context, which would be necessary for proper analysis. I do remember that Harry said the quote was from Buckaroo Banzai, and Uriel corrects him stating it is from Confucius (I don't think it actually is). Point being, it's a pretty common saying.

Who you are that is your soul and your choices change that soul and your nature. They are in effect trying to change them because what you are is a consequence of your choices. That is what Harry's soulgaze of Molly meant in proven guilty. Molly had still a lot of choices which would have led to different changed Molly's.

  I don't think it's that so much, more like your choices can cost you a bit of your soul.

That exchange is from Ghost Story.  Just before he wakes up on Demonreach.  Harry is questioning Uriel about what happened and why and getting nada.  Harry then asks Uriel to tell him something useful. It's a truism.

Bad Alias:
It's more the context from Fool Moon that I can't remember at all.

As Uriel said, you are a soul; you have a body. (I think that's the exact line, but I didn't look it up). It was in response to Harry saying that the events of Ghost Story taught him at least one thing for sure, that you "have a soul."
