I think, Ana, you had better stay here. (ANA: You do not want me to go with you.) Surely you do not want to enter Heaven in the company of a reprobate like me. (ANA: All souls are equally precious. You repent, do you not?) My dear Ana, you are silly. Do you suppose heaven is like earth, where people persuade themselves that what is done can be undone by repentance; that what is spoken can be unspoken by withdrawing it; that what is true can be annihilated by a general agreement to give it the lie? No: heaven is the home of the masters of reality: that is why I am going thither.
