Alexander Pope Quotes

I'm always curious about what happens when we die. And I'd like to think that somehow the spirit goes on. I'd rather not think that it's just about this.

I don't believe in an afterlife.

We fear death so profoundly, not because it means the end of our body, but because it means the end of our consciousness - better to be a spirit in Heaven than a zombie on Earth.

To me, the soul is a part of us that never dies. It's what we come in with.

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.

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.

Those implications are tremendous beyond description. My experience showed me that the death of the body and the brain are not the end of consciousness, that human experience continues beyond the grave. More important, it continues under the gaze of a God who loves and cares about each one of us and about where the universe itself and all the beings within it are ultimately going.

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

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

Human beings, on the contrary, have a soul which lives forever, lives after the body has been turned to dust. It rises up through the clear, pure air beyond the glittering stars.

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.

I don't believe in death, neither in flesh nor in spirit.

I'm an optimist, so I believe in some sort of life after death; I don't know what kind.

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

Either the soul survives death or it does not, and there is no scientific evidence that it does.

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

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 guess on one hand I believe it doesn't matter if there is life after death.

I do not believe in the eternity of the spirit. That contradicts my ideology.

Life is real! Life is earnest! And the grave is not its goal; Dust thou art, to dust returnest, Was not spoken of the soul.

Asked whether or not he believed in an afterlife, Thoreau quipped, "One world at a time."

I think it is impossible for human minds to think of Death as a final, irrevocable end to life.

I would love to believe that when I die I will live again, that some thinking, feeling, remembering part of me will continue. But as much as I want to believe that, and despite the ancient and worldwide cultural traditions that assert an afterlife, I know of nothing to suggest that it is more than wishful thinking.

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.

When you look at the basis for the immortality of the soul, you have these foundationless speculations and really, no intelligent reason for believing that there's life after death.
