When any of our faculties retains a strong impression of delight or pain, the soul will wholly concentrate on that, neglecting any other power it has… - Dante Alighieri

"And I — my head oppressed by horror — said:
"Master, what is it that I hear? Who are
those people so defeated by their pain?"
And he to me: "This miserable way
is taken by the sorry souls of those
who lived without disgrace and without praise.
They now commingle with the coward angels,
the company of those who were not rebels
nor faithful to their God, but stood apart.
The heavens, that their beauty not be lessened,
have cast them out, nor will deep Hell receive them — even the wicked cannot glory in them.

It follows, then, that the only way to get into Hell is to insist upon it. One must deliberately exclude himself from grace by hardening his heart against it. Hell is what the damned have actively and insistently wished for.

Insensato es el que espera que nuestra razón pueda recorrer las infinitas vías de que dispone el que es una Sustancia en tres Personas. Seres humanos, contentaos con el «quia»17, pues si os fuera dable verlo todo, no habría sido necesario que pariese María.
