Paul Bloom Quotes

Death doesn't affect the living because it has not happened yet. Death doesn't concern the dead because they have ceased to exist.

Our bodies will be recycled one way or another, but what about our ideas and minds and characters? Primordial soup? The bourne from which no traveller returns? Interesting and exciting.

Death does not exist.

One believes that if nothing happens, one disappears. That is not true.

Unbeing dead isn't being alive.

The disembodied spirit is immortal; there is nothing of it that can grow old or die. But the embodied spirit sees death on the horizon as soon as its day dawns.

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 believe that when I die I shall rot, and nothing of my ego will survive.

Death is simply a break in our linear stream of consciousness.

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

Everybody is going to die, so people are enthralled by the possibility that they don't have to completely die, that there is something that comes afterward. It's like if you're going to France for the summer, you're going to read up on it. Everyone just wants to know where they're going, or if they're going anywhere.

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

Death is a false fear. When it is here, you won't be. When it's not, you are here.

The first requisite for immortality is death.

Should I perchance still feel after my death, I would no longer have any doubt, but I would most certainly give the lie to anyone asserting before me that I was dead.

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

Let us beware of saying that death is the opposite of life. The living being is only a species of the dead, and a very rare species.

I think about death all the time. I know there's nothing out there, but I'm curious. There's a 300 billion-to-one chance that there might be an energy that goes somewhere else, but I doubt it.

The fear of death comes from limited awareness.

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

Research challenges the materialistic understanding of death, according to which biological death represents the final end of existence and of all conscious activity.
