- When all the world dissolves,
- And every creature shall be purified,
- All places shall be hell that are not heaven.
CHRISTOPHER MARLOWE, Doctor Faustus
- What if earth
- Be but the shadow of Heaven, and things therein
- Each to other like, more than on earth is thought?
JOHN MILTON, Paradise Lost
No fountain so small but that Heaven may be imaged in its bosom.
NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE, American Note-Books, 1836
If we would know what heaven is before we come thither, let us retire into the depths of our own spirits, and we shall find it there among holy thoughts and feelings.
NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE, American Note-Books, 1841
To me heaven would be a big bull ring with me holding two barrera seats and a trout stream outside that no one else was allowed to fish in and two lovely houses in the town; one where I would have my wife and children and be monogamous and love them truly and well and the other where I would have my nine beautiful mistresses on nine different floors.
ERNEST HEMINGWAY, letter to F. Scott Fitzgerald, July 1, 1925
The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right, which Heaven itself has ordained.
GEORGE WASHINGTON, First Inaugural Address, Apr. 30, 1789
The Kingdom of Heaven is a military autocracy and there is no public opinion in it.
ANATOLE FRANCE, The Revolt of the Angels
Heaven is always taken by storm.
MAXWELL ANDERSON, Elizabeth the Queen
