"Hell begins with a grumbling mood, always complaining, always
blaming others... but you are still distinct from it. You may even
criticize it in yourself and wish you
could stop it.
"But there may come a day when you can no longer. Then
there will be no you left to criticize the mood or even to enjoy it, but
just the grumble itself, going on forever like a machine.
"It is not a
question of God "sending us" to hell. In each of us there is something
growing, which will be hell unless it is nipped in the bud. "
–"The Great Divorce," 1945
