"Surely everyone realizes, at some point along the way, that he is capable of living a far better life than the one he has chosen. What stays him, usually, is the fear of the sacrifices involved.

if paradise were realizable- it would no longer be paradise. What is one to say to a man who insists on making his own prison? There is a type of individual who, after finding what he considers a paradise, proceeds to pick flaws in it. Eventually this man's paradise becomes even worse than the hell from which he had escaped.

Certainly paradise, whatever, wherever it be, contains flaws. If it did not, it would be incapable of drawing the hearts of men or angels.

Any paradise worth the name can sustain all the flaws in creation and remain undiminished, untarnished."
