We are our own devils; we drive ourselves out of our Edens.

We all invite our own devils, and we must exorcise our own.

They build their own Hells.

Every man has his personal devil waiting for him somewhere.

It is our own evil thoughts which madden us.

Hell isn't other people. Hell is yourself.

We are the cause of our own sufferings.

Let this hell be our heaven.

Each of us has heaven and hell in him...

Every disordered soul is its own punishment.

For the world is Hell, and men are on the one hand the tormented souls and on the other the devils in it.

Everyone who has ever built anywhere a new heaven first found the power thereto in his own hell.

For there are devils in the deep,
but worst are the ones
we make.

the Devil's hand directs our every move
the things we loathed become the things we love;
day by day we drop through stinking shades
quite undeterred on our descent to Hell.
