“FAUSTUS: Tell me, where is the place that men call hell? MEPHASTOPHILIS: Under the heavens. FAUSTUS: Ay, but whereabout? MEPHASTOPHILIS: Within the bowels of these elements, Where we are tortur’d and remain for ever: Hell hath no limits, nor is circumscrib’d In one self place; for where we are is hell, And where hell is, there must we ever be: And, to conclude, when all the world dissolves, And every creature shall be purified, All places shall be hell that are not heaven.”
