Heaven And Hell Quotes - Page 6

• Consciously or unconsciously, most theists see in gods and devils, heaven and hell, reward and punishment, a whip to lash the people into obedience, meekness and contentment....

  There were an end of change and birth,
  And Earth and Heaven and Hell would die,
  And in some gloomy barrow lie
  Folded like a frozen fly.

• There is a choice before us as people who live in a great world, so knit together that even America cannot stand quite outside it, or act as though it were situated somewhere on the moon!
