Yes, love indeed is light from heaven; A spark of that immortal fire with angels shared, by Allah given to lift from earth our low desire.

But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

The love of a mother is the veil of a softer light between the heart and the heavenly Father.

Down on your knees, and thank heaven, fasting, for a good man's love.

I'm not saying that love always takes you to heaven. Your life can become a nightmare. But that said, it is worth taking the risk.

My view of life is, 'If you're going to miss Heaven, why miss it by two inches? Miss it!

The true object of all human life is play. Earth is a task garden; heaven is a playground.

Knowledge of the sciences is so much smoke apart from the heavenly science of Christ.

The intellect of the wise is like glass; it admits the light of heaven and reflects it.

I can't tell you if genius is hereditary, because heaven has granted me no offspring.

Tears are often the telescope by which men see far into heaven.

There are glimpses of heaven to us in every act, or thought, or word, that raises us above ourselves.

If there were no night, we would not appreciate the day, nor could we see the stars and the vastness of the heavens. We must partake of the bitter with the sweet. There is a divine purpose in the adversities we encounter every day. They prepare, they purge, they purify, and thus they bless.

In The Touch, the love scenes are the same as they were in The Thorn Birds or anything else I've ever written. I find a way of saying that either it was heaven or hell but in a way that still leaves room for the reader to use their own imagination.

Heaven knows, I've exposed myself in my novels through the use of fantasy and imagination... now my new book is about what really happened to me... not my heroines.

Now it is quite clear to me that there are no solid spheres in the heavens, and those that have been devised by the authors to save the appearances, exist only in the imagination.

I think humans have always felt watched back by whatever is out there flickering in the distance. What excites me is what the imagination creates, not simply in explanation of what is there but also to explain or justify the feeling of awe and attachment that the heavens inspire.

I think that all things, in their way, reflect heavenly truth, the imagination not least.

I am better able to imagine hell than heaven; it is my inheritance, I suppose.

The secret source of humor is not joy but sorrow; there is no humor in Heaven.

Everything human is pathetic. The secret source of humor itself is not joy but sorrow. There is no humor in heaven.

Heaven gives us hope and makes our present burdens easier to bear.

If there's a golf course in heaven, I hope it's like Augusta National. I just don't want an early tee time.

I hope I go to Heaven, and when I do, I'm going to do what every San Franciscan does when he gets there. He looks around and says, 'It ain't bad, but it ain't San Francisco.'
