  • 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.
    If I love, there will be no hell for me.
    Ella Wheeler Wilcox
