“Hell is wherever Love is not, and Heaven
Is Love's location.”
Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850–1919) American author and poet
The Way (1913).
Poetry quotes, New Thought Pastels (1913)
Context: Hell is wherever Love is not, and Heaven
Is Love's location. No dogmatic creed,
No austere faith based on ignoble fear
Can lead thee into realms of joy and peace.
Unless the humblest creatures on the earth
Are bettered by thy loving sympathy
Think not to find a Paradise beyond.
“I love for the sake of what I have loved, and what I have loved I would not go back to loving.”

Quiero por lo que quise, y lo que quise, no volvería a quererlo.
Voces (1943)
“Underneath my lashes I watched him, and I thought, Come back. Be the you I love and remember”
