“What is Hell? Hell is the cry of a starving infant. Hell is the begging for mercy then denied. Hell is the betrayals between man and wife. The lies between father and child. Hell is where the heart is.”
“That's the difference between heaven and hell! In hell we starve! In heaven we feed each other!”
“(You can shoot a barracuda between the eyes and it won't go to hell because it doesn't know where or what hell is...)”
“Yes, hell exists. It is not a fairy tale. One indeed burns there. This hell is not at the end of life. It is here. At the beginning. Hell is what the infant must experience before he gets to us.”
“Earth is a in-between world touched by both Heaven and Hell. Earth leads directly into Heaven or directly into Hell, affording a choice between the two. The best of life on Earth is a glimpse of Heaven; the worst of life is a glimpse of Hell.”
“Between hell now, and hell later, Sassenach," he said, his speech measured and precise, "I will take later, every time.”
