“Goddamn you,” Jacob said.
“There’s no damnation, Jacob. No Heaven but the forest and no God but the hive.”

Upon thy so sore loss
Shall shine the traffic of Jacob’s ladder
Pitched betwixt Heaven and Charing Cross.Francis Thompson
Catholicity seized on man... and the mystics, transcending all, taught him to ascend on high with the wings of contemplation the Ladder of Jacob composed of brilliant stones, by which God descends to Earth and man ascends to Heaven, till Earth and Heaven, and God and man, burning together in a conflagration of infinite charity, are transmuted into one."
Juan Donoso Cortes
Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Jesus Christ
Talk to him of Jacob's ladder, and he would ask the number of the steps.
Douglas William Jerrold
In Judaism faith means wrestling with God as Jacob once wrestled with an angel...
