Alice Cary Quotes

I look through the grave into heaven.

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

I have good hope that there is something after death.

Let there be a heaven so that man may outlive his grasses.

Tis heaven itself, that points out an hereafter, and intimates eternity to man.

Dead people never seem to address the obvious - the things you'd think they'd be bursting to talk about, and the things all of us not-yet-dead are madly curious about.

Belief in heaven and hell is a big deal in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and some forms of doctrinaire Buddhism. For the rest of us it's simply meaningless. We don't live in order to die, we live in order to live.

I was always curious. And I always wondered why I had to die to go to Heaven.

Is heaven a hope or as real as the earth and sky?

What is death but a traversing of eternities and a crossing of cosmic oceans?

Heaven is real and hell is real, and eternity is but a breath away.

Should this my firm persuasion of the soul's immortality prove to be a mere delusion, it is at least a pleasing delusion, and I will cherish it to my last breath.
