"Afterlife" quotes

[dailybitsofwisdom]

There is no conclusive evidence of life after death. But there is no evidence of any sort against it. You will know soon enough – why worry about it?

John Marshall

I don’t believe in an afterlife, so I don’t have to spend my whole life fearing hell, or fearing heaven even more. For whatever the tortures of hell, I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse.

Isaac Asimov

One world at a time.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

In there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.

Albert Camus

If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting?

Stephen Levine

Neither death nor the sum can be looked at full in the face.

La Rochefoucauld

Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there’s a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see.

Helen Keller

[Peter Bourke]

"We don’t particularly welcome the idea of the annihilation of either ourselves as individuals, the party will go on and will have left, and we’re not coming back, or, the entropic heat death of the universe. We don’t like the idea, but there’s a good deal of evidence to suggest that is what’s gonna happen. And there’s very, very little evidence to suggest that I’ll see you all again in some theme park, one nice and one nasty experience. There’s absolutely no evidence for that at all. So, I’m willing to accept on the evidence conclusions that may be unwelcome to me."

- Christopher Hitchens
