Paradise is always where love dwells.

The line treats “paradise” not as a fixed geographical or theological location but as a condition created by human attachment. It suggests that love—understood as devoted presence, mutual care, or spiritual affinity—transforms whatever place it inhabits into something paradisal. The aphoristic form also implies a reversal of the usual pursuit of happiness: rather than seeking an ideal realm and then finding love there, one carries paradise with oneself by cultivating love. In a broader Romantic register often associated with Jean Paul, the saying elevates inner feeling over external circumstance, making emotional life the true measure of blessedness.
