a whole day in heaven, though plenty of people have described a day at the seaside.
— GEORGE BERNARD SHAW
It is a curious thing that every creed promises a paradise which will be absolutely uninhabitable for anyone of civilized taste.
— EVELYN WAUGH
Name something you like, I bet it’s not in heaven. Sex? Sorry, lust is a sin. Can’t have it. Your career? Nope. There’s no money in heaven; nobody needs to work. Besides, as far as I can tell from studying the scriptures, all you do in heaven is pretty much just sit around all day and praise the Lord. I don’t know about you, but I think that after the first, oh, I don’t know, 50,000,000 years of that I’d start to get a little bored.
— RICK REYNOLDS
When I reflect upon the number of disagreeable people who I know have gone to a better world, I am moved to lead a different life.
— MARK TWAIN
If I have any beliefs about immortality, it is that certain dogs I have know’n will go t heaven, and very, very few persons.
JAMES THURBER
In heaven all the Interesting people are missing
— FRIEDRICH WILHELM NIETZSCHE
Men have feverishly conceived a heaven only to find it insipid, and a hell to find it ridiculous.
GEORGE SANTAYANA
Go to heaven for the climate, hell for the company.
— MARK TWAIN
If there is, in fact, a heaven and a hell, all we know for sure is that hell will be a viciously overcrowded version of Phoenix.
— HUNTER S. THOMPSON
Hell is empty and all the devils are here.
— WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
A clergyman earns his living by assuring idiots that he can save them from an imaginary hell.
— H. L. MENCKEN –
Hell is other people.
— JEAN-PAUL SARTRE
Sunday: a day given over by Americans to wishing they were dead and in heaven, and that their neighbors were dead and in hell
— H. L. MENCKEN
Strange a God who mouths Golden Rules and forgiveness, then invented hell; who mouths morals to other people and has none Himself; who frowns upon crimes yet commits them all; who creat¬ed man without invitation, then tries to shuffle the responsibility for man’s acts upon man, instead of honorably placing it where it belongs, upon Himself; and finally with altogether divine obtuseness, invites this poor, abused slave to worship Him!
— MARK TWAIN
According to Christianity, eternal suffer¬ing awaits anyone who questions God’s infinite love. That’s the message we’re brought up with: believe or die. “Thank you, forgiving Lord, for all those options.”
