“Which is worse: Hell or nothing?”

“The hell to be endured hereafter, of which theology tells, is no worse than the hell we make for ourselves in this world by habitually fashioning our characters in the wrong way.”

“Hell of a world we live in, huh? (…) But it could be worse, huh?"
"That's right," I said, "or even worse, it could be perfect.”

“You think You're frightening me with Your hell, don't You? You think Your hell is worse than mine.”

“In the scenery of spring,
nothing is better, nothing worse”

“What is hell? Hell is oneself.
Hell is alone, the other figures in it
Merely projections. There is nothing to escape from
And nothing to escape to. One is always alone.”

“I am crazy as hell, but I know it. And knowing it is a kind of sanity that makes the sickness worse.”

“In the world it is called Tolerance, but in hell it is called Despair… the sin that believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing, and remains alive because there is nothing for which it will die.”

“There is nothing worse than an enemy with imagination.”

“It is hungry, it it immortal. Worse, it knows nothing of whim.”
