Heaven Quotes
-
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.

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

We know that Heaven chastens those whom it loves best; being pleased by repeated trials, to make . . . pure spirits more pure.
William Makepeace Thackeray
-
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
-
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.

How beautiful it is for a man to die
Upon the walls of Zion! to be called
Like a watch-worn and weary sentinel,
To put his armour off, and rest in heaven!
Nathaniel Parker Willis

A lawyer's dream of heaven: every man reclaimed his property at the resurrection, and each tried to recover it from all his forefathers.
Samuel Butler

Jesus believed that God’s will being done on earth as in heaven was God’s chief priority.

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

A heaven on earth I have won by wooing thee.
William Shakespeare
-
For me, heaven would be a lack of alienation. The whole time I was growing up, I felt comfort was inherently evil. I think that, for me, heaven isn't about couches and milk shakes and never having a troubling thought again.
Alice Sebold
-
The difficultest rigor is forthwith, On the image of what we see, to catch from that Irrational moment its unreasoning, As when the sun comes rising, when the sea Clears deeply, when the moon hangs on the wall Of heaven-haven. These are not things transformed. Yet we are shaken by them as if they were. We reason about them with a later reason.
Wallace Stevens
