Leo Tolstoy Quotes

We are eternal beings. We lived as intelligent spirits before this mortal life. We are now living part of eternity. Our mortal birth was not the beginning; death, which faces all of us, is not the end.

When I was in my early teens, I remember coming to the conclusion that your life never ends.

I don't think we die. I think our bodies leave, but we can never die. That which is never born, can never die. And that which never changes, can never die.

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

Everyone fears the cut of the blade. It doesn't matter after that. I know the spirit survives as there is so much evidence of the survival of the personality in the afterlife.

I do think there must be some kind of interaction between your living life and the life that goes on from here.

I don't think that because you die and move on to somewhere else that you lose your sense of humor.

The new spirituality will also base itself on a third very large spiritual understanding, which is that life is eternal. Most religious people claim to believe that, but very few people actually live as if that were true.

Death is the beginning of something.

We feel and know that we are eternal.

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

Everyone focuses on the earthly state, but how cool might death be? I believe in spiritual rebirth, and I can't wait to experience that.

I believe in the immortality of all creatures.

I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is no death the way we understood it. The body dies, but not the soul.

Death is not an event in life: we do not live to experience death. If we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present.

The 'Course in Miracles' says one day you will realize that death is not the punishment but the reward. And it says that birth is not the beginning of life but a continuation. And physical death is not the end of life but a continuation.

I think the idea that life ends when we physically die is as painful as the idea in Cromwell's time that there's some awful purgatory, and you have to give money to the Catholic church to get your loved ones out. I certainly have experienced a lot of evidence that there's a consciousness that isn't physical.

All spiritual things must have in them a childlike quality. The belief in immortality rests not very much on the hope of going on. Few of us want to do that, but we would like very much to begin again.

Death is not just the end, it's the beginning.

Working on 'Beyond,' I try to give an explanation to death that's different from the explanation religions have to give. So I made up my own story around all this and how life and death and souls work.

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

Death is just a continuation of life.

I believe humans have a soul that continues to exist after they die, but I don't know what form that will take.

There isn't such a thing as death. It's just a departure.

There is no death. The body withers but the spirit still lives.
