 Faustus: Stay, Mephistopheles, and tell me, what good will

my soul do thy lord?

Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe  - Quotes

 I am the spirit that negates.

And rightly so, for all that comes to be

Deserves to perish wretchedly;

'Twere better nothing would begin.

Thus everything that that your terms, sin,

Destruction, evil represent

Christopher Marlowe  - Quotes

 Mephistopheles: Within the bowels of these elements,

Where we are tortured and remain forever.

Hell hath no limits, nor is circumscribed

In one self place, for where we are is hell,

And where hell is must we ever be.

And, to conclude, when all the world dissolves,

And every creature shall be purified,

All places shall be hell that is not heaven.
