Acts of Heaven or Hell (via W.H. Auden)
“Man … always acts either self-loving, just for the hell of it, or God-loving, just for the heaven of it; his reasons, his appetites are secondary motivations. Man chooses either life or death, but he chooses; everything he does, from going to the toilet to mathematical speculation, is an act of religious worship, either of God or of himself.”
–W.H. Auden, as mostly-quoted in Alan W. Jones’ “Soulmaking”; the rest of the quote acquired from Wikipedia
