About This Quote

"But you do believe, don't you," Rose implored him, "you think it's true?" "Of course it's true," the Boy said. "What else could there be?" he went scornfully on. "Why," he said, "it's the only thing that fits. These atheists, they don't know nothing.

Of course there's Hell, flames and damnation, torments." "And Heaven too," Rose said with anxiety, while the rain fell interminably on. "Oh, maybe," the Boy said, "maybe." The idea of Hell and Heaven is a very important belief in Christian religions and other religions as well. If you were to leave out these beliefs they will collapse and leave doubt and confusion behind. So I hope that you will find this list useful for understanding some of the most common sayings or idioms that we use that have a special meaning behind them.
