Summary

This quote suggests that personal liberation or salvation should come from within oneself. The phrase "within yourself deliverance must be searched for" implies that the key to freedom lies within our own minds and choices. It implies that each individual is responsible for their own actions and decisions, and consequently, their own consequences. The statement that "each man makes his own prison" emphasizes personal accountability, implying that individuals create their own limitations or confinements through their thoughts, actions, and beliefs. True freedom, therefore, must be sought on an internal level, by breaking free from self-imposed barriers and embracing personal responsibility.

And what have you laymen made of hell? A kind of penal servitude for eternity, on the lines of your convict prisons on earth, to which you condemn in advance all the wretched felons your police have hunted from the beginning -- enemies of society, as you call them. You're kind enough to include the blasphemers and the profane. What proud or reasonable man could stomach such a notion of God's justice? And when you find that notion inconvenient it's easy enough for you to put it on one side. Hell is not to love any more, Madame. Not to love any more!

Comes over one an absolute necessity to move. And what is more, to move in some particular direction. A double necessity then: to get on the move, and to know whither.
