The philosopher is Nature's pilot. And there you have our difference: to be in hell is to drift: to be in heaven is to steer.

Nobody could stand an eternity of Heaven.

Written over the gate here are the words 'Leave every hope behind, ye who enter.' Only think what a relief that is! For what is hope? A form of moral responsibility.

Hell, in short is a place where you have nothing to do but amuse yourself.
