Miguel de Unamuno Quotes

I believe in God and immortality.

It would be an exaggeration to say I'm not afraid of death, but I'm not afraid of what comes after, because I'm not a believer.

I don't believe in the afterlife.

I happen to believe that there is an afterlife.

Unless you're flat out dead, you have to think of some other questions like: what's on the other side? It brings up issues of God, or no God. How does he play into this? Or he, or she, or it? How does it all play into this?

We do not believe in immortality because we can prove it, but we try to prove it because we cannot help believing it.

I think death is just a transition to another state of consciousness.

The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity.

We were born to die and we die to live. As seedlings of God, we barely blossom on earth; we fully flower in heaven.

Ten out of ten people die. You start thinking about that and it really makes you start to ask the big questions: Where did I come from? Where am I going when I die? What happens when we step out of here? What's out there?

I guess I don't believe that death is the end.

Why do people embrace God? In my opinion, belief in God and an afterlife is a necessary extension of man's need to feel that this life does not end with what we call death.
