Quote

I should have no use for a paradise in which I should be deprived of the right to prefer hell.

I think hell's a real place where real people spend a real eternity.

An intelligent hell would be better than a stupid paradise.

I hate thinking about it, teaching about it, and writing about it. But the plain truth is that hell is real and real people go there for eternity.

Hell is where everyone is doing his own thing. Paradise is where everyone is doing God's thing.

Those who promise us paradise on earth never produced anything but a hell.

The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict.

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.

To different minds, the same world is a hell, and a heaven.

Deep down I knew that if Hell existed, it was a real place full of ruthless, venal people, like the commodity pits at the Chicago Board of Trade, Disney World, or oral arguments before the United States Supreme Court.
