Ah, to think how thin the veil that lies Between the pain of hell and Paradise.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Hell is where everyone is doing his own thing. Paradise is where everyone is doing God's thing.
We must prefer real hell to an imaginary paradise.
He who indulges in falsehood will find the paths of paradise shut to him.
The frontier between hell and heaven is only the difference between two ways of looking at things.
I have read descriptions of Paradise that would make any sensible person stop wanting to go there.
'Tis not where we lie, but whence we fell; the loss of heaven's the greatest pain in hell.
The hell to be endured hereafter, of which theology tells, is no worse than the hell we make for ourselves in this world by habitually fashioned our characters in the wrong way.
Paradise is exactly like where you are right now... only much, much better.
How well I have learned that there is no fence to sit on between heaven and hell. There is a deep, wide gulf, a chasm, and in that chasm is no place for any man.
I should have no use for a paradise in which I should be deprived of the right to prefer hell.
