“Death is the Graduation of the Soul”

“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.”

“Love is as strong as death, as hard as Hell. Death separates the soul from the body, but love separates all things from the soul.”

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

“Some men are graduated from college cum laude, some are graduated summa cum laude, and some are graduated mirabile dictu.”

“Either no feeling remains to the soul after death, or death itself matters not at all.”
Aut nihil est sensus animis a morte relictum aut mors ipsa nihil.

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

“The body was born and it will die. But for the soul there is no death.”

“What is that the inherence of which, will render the body alive? [The soul. ] …Then whatever the soul possesses, to that she comes bearing life? …And is there an opposite to life? [Death. ] Then the soul, as she has been acknowledged, will never receive the opposite of what she brings. …And what do we call the principle which does not admit of death? [The immortal. ] And does the soul admit of death? [No. ] Then the soul is immortal?”

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