quotes

Albert Camus:

I shall tell you a great secret my friend. Do not wait for the last judgement, it takes place every day.

Albert Einstein:

I do not believe in the immortality of the individual, and I consider ethics to be an exclusively human concern without any superhuman authority behind it.

Algernon Black:

The love that once was born can not die
For it has become part of us, of our life,
Woven into the very texture of our being.
Each of us would wish to leave some part of ourselves,
So here and now we bear witness to the one we knew in life,
Who now in death bequeaths a subtle part, precious and beloved,
Which will be with us in truth and beauty,
In dignity and courage and love
To the end of our days.

Amy Tan:

I am like a falling star who has finally found her place next to another in a lovely constellation, where we will sparkle in the heavens forever.

George Bernard Shaw:

Do not try to live for ever. You will not succeed.

Harriet Martineau:

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

Isaac Asimov:

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.

Susan Ertz:

Millions long for immortality who do not know what to do with themselves on a rainy Sunday afternoon.

Woody Allen:

I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through not dying.
