Victor Hugo Quotes

A soul,--a spark of the never-dying flame that separates man from all the other beings of earth.

I don't think that the permanence of the individual human soul is an indispensable part of religious thought.

I am not convinced that there is such a thing as a soul.

A few of the sublimest geniuses of Rome and Athens had some faint discoveries of the spiritual nature of the human soul, and formed some probable conjectures, that man was designed for a future state of existence.

But felt through all this fleshly dresse Bright shootes of everlastingnesse.

We are all born with a divine fire in us. Our efforts should be to give wings to this fire and fill the world with the glow of its goodness.

What is human is immortal!

The soul is not a physical entity, but instead refers to everything about us that is not physical - our values, memories, identity, sense of humor. Since the soul represents the parts of the human being that are not physical, it cannot get sick, it cannot die, it cannot disappear. In short, the soul is immortal.

All of us have mortal bodies, composed of perishable matter, but the soul lives forever: it is a portion of the Deity housed in our bodies

Intellect is the soul of man, the only immortal part of him.

[Core concepts: Human beings all have souls. Souls are software objects. Software is not immortal.]

In this modern world of ours many people seem to think that science has somehow made such religious ideas as immortality untimely or old fashioned. I think science has a real surprise for the skeptics. Science, for instance, tells us that nothing in nature, not even the tiniest particle, can disappear without a trace. Nature does not know extinction. All it knows is transformation. If God applies this fundamental principle to the most minute and insignificant parts of His universe, doesn't it make sense to assume that He applies it to the masterpiece of His creation, the human soul?

I think, when we start dealing with heaven or hell issues, what we really need to gravitate toward is that man is an eternal spirit. And if you believe that he is an eternal spirit then all it does, it abandons the body.

Souls! When have you seen your own soul - that you're so certain you have one?

The soul comes from without into the human body, as into a temporary abode, and it goes out of it anew it passes into other habitations, for the soul is immortal." "It is the secret of the world that all things subsist and do not die, but only retire a little from sight and afterwards return again. Nothing is dead; men feign themselves dead, and endure mock funerals... and there they stand looking out of the window, sound and well, in some strange new disguise.

A man really and practically looking onwards to an immortal life, on whatever grounds, exhibits to us the human soul in an enobled attitude.

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

God alone is immortal, imperishable.

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.

Our mind thinks of death. Our heart thinks of life. Our soul thinks of Immortality.

When my soul leaves this human dwelling, I will not consider myself to have completely died, but to pass from one state to another, given that, in you and by you, I remain in my visible image in this world.

Bodies come and go, but the soul does not change.

A person is great, not by the ferocity of his hatred of evil, but by the intensity of his love for God.

God has created too few unmixed evils to warrant the belief that death is one of them. In all things else in nature, goodness so abounds that we are authorized to infer that it does not stop even at the grave. It is only that her footprints have become invisible.
