Baruch Spinoza Quotes

The soul exists partly in eternity and partly in time.

You exist in time, but you belong to eternity.

The soul awakes ... between two dim eternities - the eternal past, the eternal future.

Whether if soul did not exist time would exist or not, is a question that may fairly be asked; for if there cannot be someone to count there cannot be anything that can be counted, so that evidently there cannot be number; for number is either what has been, or what can be, counted.

I also believe that when one dies, one may wake up to the reality that proves that time does not exist.

And if Time is anything akin to God, I suppose that Memory must be the Devil.

I do not think seventy years is the time of a man or woman, Nor that seventy millions of years is the time of a man or woman, Nor that years will ever stop the existence of me, or any one else.

Time is a lot of the things people say that God is. There's always preexisting, and having no end. There's the notion of being all powerful-because nothing can stand against time, can it? Not mountains, not armies. And time is, of course, all-healing. Give anything enough time, and everything is taken care of: all pain encompassed, all hardship erased, all loss subsumed. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Remember, man, that thou art dust; and unto dust thou shalt return. And if time is anything akin to God, I suppose that memory must be the devil.

The human mind cannot be absolutely destroyed along with the body, but something of it remains, which is eternal.

When I see nothing annihilated, and not even a drop of water wasted, I cannot suspect the annihilation of souls Thus finding myself to exist in the world, I believe I shall, in some shape or other, always exist; with all the inconveniences human life is liable to, I shall not object to a new edition of mine; hoping, however, that the errata of the last may be corrected.

Past and future exist only in our memory. The present moment, though, is outside of time, it's Eternity.

Our soul is cast into a body, where it finds number, time, dimension. Thereupon it reasons, and calls this nature necessity, and can believe nothing else.

No man can pass into eternity, for he is already in it.

Consciousness after death demonstrates the possibility of consciousness operating independently of the body.

Everything that has existed, lingers in the Eternity.

When Time is spent, Eternity begins.

The doctrine of immortality rests upon human affection. We love; therefore, we wish to live.

Life is the fire that burns and the sun that gives light. Life is the wind and the rain and the thunder in the sky. Life is matter and is earth, what is and what is not, and what beyond is in Eternity.

I would like immortality.

I don't believe there's an afterlife - but I don't believe there's an end to life. Consciousness goes beyond the bounds of your body.

I don't like to think of myself as just a person. I don't think I am. I think I existed before, and I think I'll exist again after I die here, so I don't exactly know what I am. I don't think there is ever going to be an answer. I just know that I'm not like you.

Immortality is but ubiquity in time.

I believe in an immortal soul. Science has proved that nothing disintegrates into nothingness. Life and soul, therefore, cannot disintegrate into nothingness, and so are immortal.

...when a person dies he only appears to die. He is still very much alive in the past, present, and future, always have existed, always will exist.
