In fact, I take the view that God, in his infinite wisdom, didn't bother to spring for two joints - heaven and hell.

Hell is the same place - no fire and brimstone - but they 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.
