How well I have learned that there is no fence to sit on between heaven and hell. There is a deep, wide gulf, a chasm, and in that chasm is no place for any man.

Summary

This quote suggests that there is no middle ground between good and evil, between heaven and hell. Rather, it portrays them as starkly separate and incompatible realms, without any room for ambiguity. It implies that one cannot sit idly in between or hope for a neutral position; the divide is too vast and impassable. It admonishes that one must actively choose a path and understand that there are consequences and commitments associated with each.
