Paradise Quotes

The earthly paradise had been discredited at exactly the moment when it became realizable.

"Why can't these American women stay in their own country? They are always telling us that it is the paradise for women."
"It is. That is the reason why, like Eve, they are so excessively anxious to get out of it," said Lord Henry.

Oscar Wilde

The Picture of Dorian Gray

— Beautiful women are heaven for the eyes — and hell for the soul.
— And purgatory for the wallet.

Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die.

Every tear, a waterfall.
In the night, the stormy night
She closed her eyes.
In the night, the stormy night
Away she flied.
Dream of para-para-paradise,
Para-para-paradise,
Para-para-paradise.

I think this whole place is inside a closed energy loop, constantly recycling. Or maybe I'm in Hell? That's OK. I'm not scared of Hell. It's just Heaven for bad people. But how long will I have to be here? Forever?

Paradise comes at a price
That I am not prepared to pay
What were we built for?
Could someone tell me please?

I create my paradise

I believe in the people
Of all nations
To join and to care
For love.
I believe in a world,
Where light will guide us
And giving our love
We'll make heaven on earth.

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Bible. New Testament

First Epistle to the Corinthians

Depravity

— A place with no pain. No hunger, no sickness, no old age. There will be no greed or war and all will live by God's grace alone.
— No this, no that, no nothin'. A paradise for castrated sheep, maybe. Sounds pretty boring.

Saint Peter sat by the celestial gate:
His keys were rusty, and the lock was dull,
So little trouble had been given of late;
Not that the place by any means was full

George Gordon Byron

The Vision of Judgment

We were the Kings and Queens of promise
We were the victims of ourselves
Maybe the Children of a lesser God
Between Heaven and Hell
Heaven and Hell

Up in the mornin' out on the job,
And I work like the devil for my pay.

I know that a lucky old sun has nothin' to do,
But roll around heaven all day,
(Roll around heaven all day).

Dear Lord above, don't You see I'm pining,
I got tears all in my eyes?
Why don't You send down that cloud
With a silver lining, lift me up to paradise.

No, it’s not what it seems
Ohhh, there’s demons down deep
There is a dark side, there is a dark side,
There is a dark side, a dark side in paradise.

— My name is Brilliant Chang.
— Brilliant Chang is dead.
— Perhaps. Sometimes I wonder, "Is this heaven?" Doesn't smell like heaven... so I would say I have survived.
