“It is not death; but a bad life, which destroys the soul.”

“The immortality of the soul is that there is no death without life and there is no life after death. Life goes on.”

“In a sentence: Life is bad, but so is death. Of course, life is not bad in every way. Neither is death bad in every way. However, both life and death are, in crucial respects, awful. Together, they constitute an existential vise—the wretched grip that enforces our predicament.”

“Death is not the end. Death can never be the end. Death is the road. Life is the traveller. The soul is the guide.”

“Not to be content with Life is the unsatisfactory state of those which destroy themselves; who being afraid to live, run blindly upon their own Death, which no Man fears by Experience.”

“A refusal to believe that God loves us is the unbelief which destroys the soul.”

“If the soul does not exist, then stop believing in life and death as well.”

“Death is not such a bad thing. What would be a bad thing would be living without challenges. Without knowing defeat, we cannot know what victory is. There is no life without death.”

“As the separation of the soul from the body is the death of the body, so the separation of God from the soul is the death of the soul. And this death of the soul is the true death.”

“There are no ghosts, my love. Death is final. The soul is that ineffable combination of memory and personality which we carry through life…when life departs, the soul also dies. Except for what we leave in the memory of those who loved us.”
