• In fact, I take the view that God, in his infinite wisdom, didn't bother to spring for two joints - heaven and hell. They're the same place, but heaven is when you get everything you want and you meet Mummy and Daddy and your best friends and you all have a hug and a kiss and play your harps. Hell is the same place - no fire and brimstone - but they just all pass by and don't see you. There's nothing, no recognition. You're waving, “It's me, your father,” but you're invisible. You're on a cloud, you've got your harp, but you can't play with nobody because they don't see you. That's hell.

  Keith Richards

• How much more of the mosque, of prayer and fasting?
  Better go drunk and begging round the taverns.
  Khayyam, drink wine, for soon this clay of yours
  Will make a cup, bowl, one day a jar.
  When once you hear the roses are in bloom,
  Then is the time, my love, to pour the wine;
  Houris and palaces and Heaven and Hell-
  These are but fairy-tales, forget them all.

  Omar Khayyam

  Atheist, Prayer, Wine

• The universe is a meat grinder and we're just pork in designer shoes, keeping busy so we can pretend we're not all headed for the sausage factory.
