Death Quotes
-
You loved me-then what right had you to leave me? What right-answer me-for the poor fancy you felt for Linton?

I have not broken your heart- you have broken it; and in breaking it, you have broken mine." ~Heathcliff

For instance, the notion of non-penal substitution.

We lost our innocence in the Fall, and our turn to it is through the Redemption which was brought about by Christ's death and by our slow participation in it. Sentimentality is a skipping of this process in its concrete reality and an early arrival at a mock state of innocence, which strongly suggests its opposite.
Flannery O'Connor

Saint Augustine

Temporal punishments are suffered by some in this life only, by some after death, by some both here and hereafter, but all of them before that last and strictest judgment.

Saint Augustine
