Hell is empty and all the devils are here.

Summary

This quote, attributed to William Shakespeare in "The Tempest," suggests that evil and wickedness are ever-present in the world. It implies a sense of despair and hopelessness, indicating that even though the idea of hell being empty may suggest some relief from evil, it does not mean the absence of devilish beings or malicious behavior. Instead, it emphasizes that the world itself can be a chaotic and malevolent place, with no escape from the pervasive presence of sin and wrongdoing.
