A writer reports on the universe. When he presents his credentials, the gates of heaven and hell are equally opened to him. He can hear the devil’s defense and god’s accusations. The guards at the king’s heart let him in. The writer can be anything and any one he wants. When he writes he is a god, he creates.

Some men are sent to heaven by torturers who thought they were doing god's work by sending them to hell

Hell is nothing but a place we wish God has created for our enemies, we ourselves think that he will ultimately show some kind of clemency towards us

Hell and heaven are within us

A man can feel pain in an amputated arm (an arm that is not there). A man can also feel anxious when he thinks about how his soul will burn in the fire of hell when he is threatened by it though he cannot see it physically

Hell was invented to scare to death the unruly human mind and bring it to obedience.

Paradise is near to you when you are powerful; hell is nearer when you are weaker

A god without wrath, without intimidation, without punishment, without hell? It would be a paper tiger, a teddy bear!

Create hell and people will be impatient to get there, just out of curiosity
