Jacob's Ladder


"The only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won't let go of your life; your memories, your attachments. They burn 'em all away. But they're not punishing you, he said. They're freeing your soul. So the way he sees it, if you're frightened of dying and holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace then the devils are really angels freeing you from the earth. It's just a matter of how youlook at it, that's all."

('Louis' played by Danny Aiello quotes a philosophic-theologic theory by Meister Eckhart
in Adrian Lyne's film "Jacob's Ladder")
