All get what they want; they do not always like it.

Jesus Christ did not say, 'Go into the world and tell the world that it is quite right.'

All Hell is smaller than one pebble of your earthly world; but it is smaller than one atom of this world, the Real World.

The action of Pity leaps quicker than light from the highest place to the lowest to bring healing and joy, whatever the cost to itself. It changes darkness into light and evil into good. But it will not, at the cunning tears of Hell, impose on good the tyranny of evil. Every disease that submits to a cure shall be cured: but we will not call blue yellow to please those who insist on having jaundice, nor make a midden of the world's garden for the sake of some who cannot abide the smell of roses.

It is safe to tell the pure in heart that they shall see God, for only the pure in heart want to.

The demand of the loveless and the self-imprisoned that they should be allowed to blackmail the universe: that till they consent to be happy (on their own terms) no one else shall taste joy: that theirs should be the final power; that Hell should be able to veto Heaven.

Readers are advised to remember the devil is a liar.

What we called love down there was mostly the craving to be loved. In the main I loved you for my own sake: because I needed you...We shall have no need for one another now: we can begin to love truly.

The whole difficulty of understanding Hell is that the thing to be understood is so nearly nothing.
