Quote by James Barrie

Heaven for climate, Hell for company.

Heaven for climate, Hell for company.

Summary

This short but powerful quote suggests that while a place may have desirable weather or physical attributes (heaven), the presence and behavior of the people in that place (company) can make it unbearable or unpleasant (hell). It highlights the significance of human interaction and relationships, implying that the company we keep has a significant impact on our overall experience and well-being, regardless of external factors. Essentially, it reminds us that even the most beautiful or ideal environment can become unbearable if surrounded by negative or toxic individuals.
