O Lord!
If I worship you from fear of Hell, cast me into Hell.
If I worship you from desire for Paradise, deny me Paradise

who said that? a wise person, i'm thinking. but don't you contradict yourself? whoever said that, they're not god.

maybe this is it:
The Tale of Torch and Water
One day, she was seen running through the streets of Basra carrying a torch in one hand and a bucket of water in the other. When asked what she was doing, she said:
I want to put out the fires of Hell, and burn down the rewards of Paradise. They block the way to God. I do not want to worship from fear of punishment or for the promise of reward, but simply for the love of God.
