Heaven Quotes
-
I'm more comfortable writing traditional protagonists. But 'Steve Jobs' and 'The Social Network' have antiheroes. I like to write antiheroes as if they're making their case to God about why they should be allowed into heaven. I have to find something in that character that is like me and write to that.
Aaron Sorkin
-
A choir of angels glorified the hour, the vault of heaven was dissolved in fire. 'Father, why hast Thou forsaken me? Mother, I beg you, do not weep for me...'
Anna Akhmatova
-
On earth there is no heaven, but there are pieces of it.
Jules Renard

... and she held out a pretty gold ring. 'Put it,' she said, 'on the fourth finger of my left hand, and I am yours and you are mine; and we shall leave Earth and make our own Heaven yonder.'
Charlotte Bronte
-
In each of us lies sleeping beauty, wasted potential, dying dreams. We sleep and live in dormant twilight, never knowing what it means to live, to love the bits of heaven that we can unearth deep in our hearts; not recognizing that our salvation is ever-present in those parts that we have disowned, denied, forgotten. The thorns of fear thwart faint attempt. The prince is courage, the kiss believing and then with these our life begins.
Kay Thompson
-
Hail to thee, blithe Spirit! Bird thou never wert, That from Heaven, or near it, Pourest thy full heart In profuse strains of unpremeditated art.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
-
Our relationships are precious, valuable treasures from heaven, and we should handle them carefully, always looking for ways to build bridges to each other's hearts.
Victoria Osteen

Where imperfection ceaseth, heaven begins.
Philip James Bailey
-
Notice how we are perpetually surprised at Time. ('How time flies! Fancy John being grown-up and married! I can hardly believe it!') In heavens name, why? Unless, indeed, there is something in us which is not temporal.
C. S. Lewis
-
Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither.
C. S. Lewis
-
There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
William Shakespeare
-
Fame alone raises herself to Heaven, because virtuous things are in favour with God.
Leonardo da Vinci
-
I do what I do without hope of reward or fear of punishment. I do not require Heaven or Hell to bribe or scare me into acting decently.
Mary Doria Russell
-
Here today we huddle tightAs the darkest heathens mightThe snow falls chilly on our skinThe snow is forcing its way in.Hush, snow, come in with us to dwell:We were thrown out by Heaven as well.
Eugen Berthold Friedrich Brecht
-
One is not idle because one is absorbed. There is both visible and invisible labor. To contemplate is to toil, to think is to do. The crossed arms work, the clasped hands act. The eyes upturned to Heaven are an act of creation.
Victor Hugo
-
I hold my peace, sir? no; No, I will speak as liberal as the north; Let heaven and men and devils, let them all, All, all, cry shame against me, yet I'll speak.
William Shakespeare
