Screwtape

There's no doubt the road to hell is wide, with sections variously paved and unimproved, to suit all tastes.  And still many hack through the bramble and brush to get there.  The work that people put into their degradation!  The look on the face of the self-ruined is sometimes a look of Falstaffian, florid ecstasy.  But it is more often the look of the haggard, the exhausted, the laborer.
