A Few Quotes on Heaven...

If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.

- Mere Christianity (Chap. 10, Para. 5, Page 120)

"Then those people are right when they say that Heaven and Hell are only states of mind?"
"Hush," said he sternly. "Do not blaspheme. Hell is a state of mind - ye never said a truer word. And every state of mind, left to itself, every shutting up of the creature within the dungeon of its own mind - is, in the end, Hell. But Heaven is not a state of mind. Heaven is Reality itself. All that is fully real is Heavenly. For all that can be shaken will be shaken and only the unshakable remains."

- The Great Divorce (Chap. 9, Pages 68-69)
