Context: Nobody crossed him without a battle. He disliked almost everything, particularly his wife, his children, his neighbors, his church, his priest, his town, his state, his country, and the country from which he emigrated. Nor did he give a damn for the world either, or the sun or the stars, or the universe, or heaven or hell. But he liked women.

Variant: No, it's not fair, but what makes earth feel like Hell is our expectation that it should feel like Heaven.

Context: I don't know if I'm closer to Heaven but
It looks like Hell down there.
These streets have never been paved with gold.
