Heaven Quotes
-
I was writing music when we finished the last Walkmen record, Heaven, and a few of these songs may have even been started before Heaven was done. With The Walkmen we all wrote a lot of stuff alone, but then we'd start collaborating with each other.
Hamilton Leithauser

Many things between Heaven and Earth fill me with wonder; but of all of these, the least wondrous to me are the wonders of Religion.
Karlheinz Deschner
-
If there is one pleasure on earth which surpasses all others, it is leaving a play before the end. I might perhaps except the joy of taking tickets for a play, dining well, sitting on after dinner, and finally not going at all. That, of course, is very heaven.
Angela Thirkell
-
There is no music in hell, for all good music belongs to heaven.
Brigham Young
-
All things that speak of heaven speak of peace.
Philip James Bailey
-
Gently - so have good men taught -
Gently, and without grief, the old shall glide
Into the new; the eternal flow of things,
Like a bright river of the fields of heaven,
Shall journey onward in perpetual peace.
William Cullen Bryant
-
In fact, I take the view that God, in his infinite wisdom, didn't bother to spring for two joints - heaven and hell. They're the same place, but heaven is when you get everything you want and you meet Mummy and Daddy and your best friends and you all have a hug and a kiss and play your harps. Hell is the same place - no fire and brimstone - but they just all pass by and don't see you. There's nothing, no recognition. You're waving, “It's me, your father,” but you're invisible. You're on a cloud, you've got your harp, but you can't play with nobody because they don't see you. That's hell.
Keith Richards
The Rolling Stones

Heaven is above all yet; there sits a judge, That no king can corrupt.
William Shakespeare
-
Perhaps when the light of heaven shows us clearly the pitfalls and dangers of the earth road that led to the heavenly city, our sweetest songs of gratitude will be not for the troubles we have conquered, but for those we have escaped.
Amelia Barr
-
I remember, I remember The fir-trees dark and high; I used to think their slender tops Were close against the sky; It was a childish ignorance, But now 't is little joy To know I'm farther off from heaven Than when I was a boy.
Thomas Hood
-
When you arrive in heaven, you will know that answering the call was worth it. Answering the call is always worth it.
Karen Wheaton
-
It's all written out, you know. Everything is fate. All written out in Heaven, or written out in Hell.
Bill Roorbach
-
Gratitude is heaven itself.
William Blake
-
There is something obscure which is complete before heaven and earth arose; tranquil, quiet, standing alone without change, moving without peril. It could be the mother of everything. Not knowing its name, I call it Tao.
Lao Tzu
-
We all long for heaven where God is, but we have it our power to be in heaven with him right now-to be happy with him at this very moment. But this means being: Loving as he loves, helping as he helps, giving as he gives, serving as he serves, rescuing as he rescues, being with him all 24 hours of the day, touching him in his distressing disguise.
Mother Teresa
