"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"

- Johnny Cash

About this Quote

In this quote, Johnny Cash reviews his understanding that there is no happy medium between excellent and evil, between paradise and hell. He acknowledges that there is a vast divide, a deep and broad chasm, that separates these 2 worlds. And in this chasm, there is no place for anyone to simply sit and observe. It is a stark reminder that we should pick a side, that we can not remain neutral in the face of such opposing forces. Money's words work as a caution that we should bear in mind our actions and the effects they may have, as there is no in-between when it comes to matters of the soul.
