Heaven Quotes
-
You grieve Not that heaven does not exist but That it exists without us
W. S. Merwin
-
We have come by curious ways To the Light that holds the days; We have sought in haunts of fear For that all-enfolding sphere: And lo! it was not far, but near.We have found, O foolish-fond, The shore that has no shore beyond.Deep in every heart it lies With its untranscended skies; For what heaven should bend above Hearts that own the heaven of love?
Alfred Noyes
-
Wish You Were Here So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, Blue skys from pain. Can you tell a green field From a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? And did they get you to trade Your heros for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange A walk on part in the war For a lead role in a cage? How I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl, Year after year, Running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears. Wish you were here.
Roger Waters
Pink Floyd

Where older religions promised heaven, the church of yoga promises quicker, more practical, earthly gratification, in the form of better heart rates and well-toned arms.
Hanna Rosin
-
All invitations must proceed from heaven perhaps; perhaps it is futile for men to initiate their own unity, they do but widen the gulfs between them by the attempt.
E. M. Forster
-
The subject of Stalin's death permitted a rare blend of invective and speculation-both Hearst papers, as I recall, ran cartoons of Stalin being rebuffed at the gates of Heaven, where Hearst had no correspondents-and I have seldom enjoyed a week of newspaper reading more.
A. J. Liebling
-
Heaven must be an awfully dull place if the poor in spirit live there.
Emma Goldman
-
God is everywhere present by His power. He rolls the orbs of heaven with His hand; He fixes the earth with His foot; He guides all creatures with His eye, and refreshes them with His influence; He makes the powers of hell to shake with His terrors, and binds the devils with His word.
Jeremy Taylor
-
A heaven on earth I have won by wooing thee.
William Shakespeare
-
Trees are the earth's endless effort to speak to the listening heaven.
Rabindranath Tagore
-
Heaven is for every one, if you're old or if you're young
Baby, you can't kiss the past goodbye
When I saw her in the night cafe, just near by the Champs-Elysees
She looked so sad, she breaks my heart
She told me, she will take the car and drive to an unknown star
She falls in love with someone else, not me
And I know my tears will never dry, when I heard her say just, goodbye
I never said she's guilty, guilty for my love.
Dieter Bohlen
Modern Talking
-
All men are NOT created equal before God; the facts of heaven and hell, election and reprobation make clear that they are not equal. Moreover, an employer has aproperty rights to prefer whom he will in terms of "color" creed, race or national origin.
R.J. Rushdoony
-
Go - take the mother's soul, and learn three truths: Learn What dwells in man, What is not given to man, and What men live by. When thou hast learnt these things, thou shalt return to heaven.
Leo Tolstoy
-
Within your magic web of hair, lies furledThe fire and splendour of the ancient world;The dire gold of the comet's wind-blown hair;The songs that turned to gold the evening airWhen all the stars of heaven sang for joy.
Edith Sitwell
-
I don't wonder anymore what I'll tell God when I go to heaven when we sit in the chairs under the tree, outside the city........I'll tell these things to God, and he'll laugh, I think and he'll remind me of the parts I forgot, the parts that were his favorite. We'll sit and remember my story together, and then he'll stand and put his arms around me and say, "well done," and that he liked my story. And my soul won't be thirsty anymore. Finally he'll turn and we'll walk toward the city, a city he will have spoken into existence a city built in a place where once there'd been nothing.
Donald Miller

Prayers truly from the heart open all doors in Heaven.
