Quotes about Immortality

— Ralph Waldo Emerson
So when the soul of the poet has come to ripeness of thought, she detaches and sends away from it its poems or songs,—a fearless, sleepless, deathless progeny, which is not exposed to the accidents of the weary kingdom of time: a fearless, vivacious offspring, clad with wings (such was the virtue of the soul out of which they came), which carry them fast and far, and infix them irrecoverably into the hearts of men. These wings are the beauty of the poet's soul.
— Ralph Waldo Emerson

Baptist pastor Octavius Winslow (1808-1878) said, The child of God is, from necessity, a joyful man. His sins are forgiven, his soul is justified, his person is adopted, his trials are blessings, his conflicts are victories, his death is immortality, his future is a heaven of inconceivable, unthought-of, untold, and endless blessedness—with such a God, such a Saviour, and such a hope, is he not, ought he not, to be a joyful man?

no craving for wealth or immortality could be so great, he felt, as to subsist on the sorrow of children.
— Joseph Heller
He had decided to live forever or die in the attempt...
— Joseph Heller
Life in death concerns those who are titled and whose titles, since they are timeless, may not be extinguished by death. Immortality, in this case, is not a reward but the condition necessary to the possession of rewards. Victors live forever not because their souls are unaffected by death but because their titles must not be forgotten.
— James Carse
Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
Death is dreadful to the man whose all is extinguished with his life; but not to him whose glory never can die.
— Cicero
I have heard that death takes us away from ill things, not from good. I have heard that when we pronounce the name of man we pronounce the belief of immortality.
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
