David Bentley Hart,

 

I do believe that the only hell that could possibly exist is the one of which those Christian contemplatives speak: the hatred within each of us that turns the love of others--of God and neighbor--into torment. A hardened heart is already its own punishment; the refusal to love or be loved makes the love of others--or even just their presence--a source of suffering.
