At Heaven we tilt, then suddenly we fell,
Watry Foundations sinking low as Hell.”

No I won't back down.
You could stand me up at the gates of hell,
But I won't back down.”

“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.”

Antonio Porchia (1885–1968) Italian Argentinian poet

Quiero por lo que quise, y lo que quise, no volvería a quererlo.
