I should have no use for a paradise in which I should be deprived of the right to prefer hell.

The earth is a Paradise, the only one we will ever know. We will realize it the moment we open our eyes. We don't have to make it a Paradise - it is one. We have only to make ourselves fit to inhabit it.

The longing for paradise is paradise itself.

The bird of paradise alights only upon the hand that does not grasp.

Having mourned your sin, for outward Eden lost, find paradise within.

The wonder is what you can make a paradise out of.

Paradise is here or nowhere: you must take your joy with you or you will never find it.

One path leads to paradise, but a thousand to hell.
