Jerry Spinelli Quotes

To me, the soul is a part of us that never dies. It's what we come in with.

Death is not extinction. Neither the soul nor the body is extinguished or put out of existence.

The soul, which is spirit, can not dwell in dust; it is carried along to dwell in the blood.

I'm interested in the eternal soul. That's what I write about.

Man never dies, nor is he ever born; bodies die, but he never dies.

I would love to believe that when I die I will live again, that some thinking, feeling, remembering part of me will continue. But as much as I want to believe that, and despite the ancient and worldwide cultural traditions that assert an afterlife, I know of nothing to suggest that it is more than wishful thinking.

Should this my firm persuasion of the soul's immortality prove to be a mere delusion, it is at least a pleasing delusion, and I will cherish it to my last breath.

There is no death. How can there be death if everything is part of the Godhead? The soul never dies and the body is never really alive.

Death cannot kill what never dies.

I firmly believe that when you die you will enter immediately into another life. They who have gone before us are alive in one form of life and we in another.

I would love to believe that when I die I will live again, that some thinking, feeling, remembering part of me will continue.

Human beings, on the contrary, have a soul which lives forever, lives after the body has been turned to dust. It rises up through the clear, pure air beyond the glittering stars.

The soul is innocent and immortal, it should never die ungodly in an armed madhouse.
