• Consider that all these torments of body and soul are without intermission. Be their suffering ever so extreme, be their pain ever so intense, there is no possibility of their fainting away, no, not for one moment ... They are all eye, all ear, all sense.

Neither the pain of the body nor of soul is any nearer an end than it was millions of ages ago.

  John Wesley
