Just because your sins have landed you in Hell doesn't mean you shouldn't seek Grace.
EDWARD LEE, House Infernal
Better to reign in Hell, then serve in Heav'n.
JOHN MILTON, Paradise Lost
Hell doesn't exist. It is a creation by traditions of men and a misunderstanding of the Scriptures.
LEIF A. WERNER, Are You Lied to About the Bible
It's only a popular myth that Hell doesn't exist. And it's also cruel not to believe in Hell. For isn't it cruel to tell skaters on thin ice that there's no water under the ice and that they can't possibly drown?
PETER KREEFT, Because God Is Real
Hell's my wife's home town.
BOB DYLAN, "My Wife's Home Town"
I have no fear of the Hereafter. An orthodox hell could hardly be more torture than my life has been.
ROBERT E. HOWARD, letter to Tevis Clyde Smith, Jul. 1925
Don't get me wrong. I don't want to go to hell any more than the next guy (especially if eternal conscious torment ends up involving some form of nonstop Barry Manilow music marathon). It's just that the threat of hell doesn't move me any longer.
BRIAN JONES, Getting Rid of the Gorilla
- Hell is a city much like London —
- A populous and smoky city.
PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY, "Peter Bell the Third"
- A dungeon horrible, on all sides round,
- As one great furnace flamed; yet from those flames
- No light; but rather darkness visible
- Served only to discover sights of woe,
- Regions of sorrow, doleful shades, where peace
- And rest can never dwell, hope never comes
- That comes to all, but torture without end
- Still urges, and a fiery deluge, fed
- With ever-burning sulphur unconsumed.
- Such place Eternal Justice has prepared
- For those rebellious; here their prison ordained
- In utter darkness, and their portion set,
- As far removed from God and light of Heaven
- As from the centre thrice to th' utmost pole.
JOHN MILTON, Paradise Lost
All right, God, send me to hell. You think You're frightening me with Your hell, don't You? You think Your hell is worse than mine.
DOROTHY PARKER, "A Telephone Call"
In hell there is no other punishment than to begin over and over again the tasks left unfinished in your lifetime.
ANDRE GIDE, Autumn Leaves
To every man is given the key to the gates of heaven; the same key opens the gates of hell.
