Henry Ward Beecher Quotes

That's why I named my album 'Finding Forever,' because that's what I was thinking about: What did I want to contribute to this world that would live beyond my physical existence?

If what you create does not outlive you, then you have failed.

What is human is immortal!

It is not necessary to live. But to leave our names beyond that point. That is necessary.

I've had a wonderful life. What people are going to write about me 10 years after I'm dead - who cares?

It's not lost on me that everyone dies, but some people have a kind of immortality about them, and you can't imagine that they will ever be gone.

The stuff that's good is the stuff that lives on.

I think all creative people are operating from the fear that, of the best of what they did, will anybody remember it? Will anybody tell stories about them? Will anybody keep those pictures on the mantle long after they are gone? It's why people write stories. It's peoples' grave markers.

How many other people get a chance to be remembered forever? And that's what I really want. I want to be remembered forever.

We build our legacy piece by piece, and maybe the whole world will remember you or maybe just a couple of people, but you do what you can to make sure you're still around after you're gone.

When I got 'forever' tattooed on my throat, it meant that my legacy was going to live forever. So anything that I create, I do it because I believe it will live on, forever.

Every moment is, in some ways, eternal. Once you put something into the world, it stays there.

If we're going to go really deep, we're all trying to live forever. My music is my way of doing that.

Ultimately, what I want is for my songs to outlive me: I want my songs to keep being played even after I'm gone.

To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.

Soul is a feeling, not a color.

Following your feelings will lead you to their source. Only through emotions can you encounter the force field of your own soul.

Death is dreadful to the man whose all is extinguished with his life; but not to him whose glory never can die.

I just want to feel as much as I can, it's what soul is all about.

public work brings a vicarious but assured sense of immortality. We may be poor, weak, timid, in debt to our landlady, bullied by our nieces, stiff in the joints, shortsighted and distressed; we shall perish, but the cause endures; the cause is great.

If one but tell a thing well, it moves on with undying voice, and over the fruitful earth and across the sea goes the bright gleam of noble deeds ever unquenchable.

Superman is going to live forever. They'll be reading Superman in the next century when you and I are gone. I felt, in that respect, I was doing the same thing. I wanted to be known. I wasn't going to sell a comic that was going to die quickly.

Words are immortal - Elinor

May we be satisfied with nothing that shall not have in it something of immortality.

Art is eternal for it reveals the inner landscape which is the soul of man.
