Eric ClaptonWe do not have to die to enter the kingdom of Heaven, In fact we have to be fully alive. When we are truly alive we see that the tree is part of Heaven and we are also part of Heaven. The whole universe is conspiring to reveal this to us. Peace is available and when we touch it everything becomes real. We become ourselves, fully alive in the present moment.

James HowellNo, I donโt wish I knew Heaven was like the picture in my Great Divorce, because, if we knew that, we should know it was no better.

Robert JeffressI don't think I can really believe in doomsday; I could hardly believe in rewards and punishments, in heaven or hell.

Denis DiderotThen she opened her eyes, Veronika did not think 'this must be heaven'. Heaven would never use a fluorescent tube to light a room, and the pain - which started a fraction of a second later - was typical of the Earth. Ah, that Earth pain - unique, unmistakable.
Paulo CoelhoSacred scripture wishes simply to declare that the world was created by God, and in order to teach this truth it expressed itself in terms of the cosmology in use at the time of the writer.

The gloom of the world is but a shadow; behind it, yet, within our reach, is joy. Take Joy.

I said, 'Well, what happened to all the black angels?'

James HowellTreasures in heaven are more permanent. They are more satisfying. There are only two reasons why we are not as successful as we would like to be in laying up earthly treasures. One is that we sometimes get into the wrong business; and the second reason is that even though we may be in the right business, we do not always work at it effectively. Interestingly enough, these are the same reasons why we fail in laying up treasures in heaven.
Sterling W SillNO NEUTRALS IN HEAVEN. There were no neutrals in the war in heaven. All took sides either with Christ or with Satan. Every man had his agency there, and men receive rewards here based upon their actions there, just as they will receive rewards hereafter for deeds done in the body. The Negro, evidently, is receiving the reward he merits
Joseph Fielding SmithMan has imagined a heaven, and has left entirely out of it the supremest of all his delights...sexual intercourse!...His heaven is like himself: strange, interesting, astonishing, grotesque. I give you my word, it has not a single feature in it that he actually values.
Mark TwainHeaven works extensively with the fact that we're currently placed here in 3D as the 'spirit' part of what is to come.

My 'daily' focus here is the discovery/growth of self, if I am to use such a word, meaning who am I?

Russell M. NelsonMy desire for knowledge is intermittent; but my desire to bathe my head in atmospheres unknown to my feet is perennial and constant. The highest that we can attain to is not Knowledge, but Sympathy with Intelligence. I do not know that this higher knowledge amounts to anything more definite than a novel and grand surprise on a sudden revelation of the insufficiency of all that we called Knowledge before,โa discovery that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamed of in our philosophy.

William Ellery Channing
