| Better to reign in Hell, then serve in Heaven. | John Milton | Paradise Lost |  |
| "Heav'n has no Rage, like Love to Hatred turn'd, Nor Hell a Fury, like a Woman scorn'd." | William Congreve | The Mourning Bride | |
| "Written over the gate here are the words 'Leave every hope behind, ye who enter.' Only think what a relief that is! For what is hope? A form of moral responsibility. Here there is no hope, and consequently no duty, no work, nothing to be gained by praying, nothing to be lost by doing what you like. Hell, in short, is a place where you have nothing to do but amuse yourself." | George Bernard Shaw | Man And Superman | |
The mind is its own place, and in it self
Can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven. | John Milton | Paradise Lost | |
| ". . . from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee." | Herman Melville | Moby Dick | |
| "I loved you madly; in the distasteful work of the day, in the wakeful misery of the night, girded by sordid realities, or wandering through Paradises and Hells of visions into which I rushed, carrying your image in my arms, I loved you madly." | Charles Dickens | The Mystery of Edwin Drood | |
| We are praying now for the repose of his soul. Hoping you're well and not in hell. Nice change of air. Out of the frying pan of life into the fire of purgatory. | James Joyce | Ulysses | |
| . . . hell is an idea first born on an undigested apple-dumpling; and since then perpetuated through the hereditary dyspepsias nurtured by Ramadans. | Herman Melville | Moby Dick | |
| I don't know if it be a peculiarity in me, but I am seldom otherwise than happy while watching in the chamber of death, should no frenzied or despairing mourner share the duty with me. I see a repose that neither earth nor hell can break; and I feel an assurance of the endless and shadowless hereafter - the Eternity they have entered - where life is boundless in its duration, and love in its sympathy, and joy in its fulness. | Emily Bronte | Wuthering Heights | |
| "Men get tired of everything, of heaven no less than of hell; and that all history is nothing but a record of the oscillations of the world between these two extremes. An epoch is but a swing of the pendulum; and each generation thinks the world is progressing because it is always moving." | George Bernard Shaw | Man And Superman | |
