“Smiling always with a never fading serenity of countenance, and flourishing in an immortal youth.”
Isaac Barrow, Duty of Thanksgiving, Works, Volume I, p. 66; reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922), p. 921-24
Religion without Revelation (1957) p. 58
Context: The supernatural is being swept out of the universe in the flood of new knowledge of what is natural. It will soon be as impossible for an intelligent, educated man or woman to believe in a god as it is now to believe the earth is flat, that flies can be spontaneously generated... or that death is always due to witchcraft... The god hypothesis is no longer of any pragmatic value for the interpretation or comprehension of nature, and indeed often stands in the way of better and truer interpretation. Operationally, God is beginning to resemble not a ruler but the last fading smile of a cosmic Cheshire cat.
“Love is a battle," said Marie-Claude, still smiling. "And I plan to go on fighting. To the end.”
The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1984), Part Three: Words Misunderstood
“I sadly smiling remember that the flower fades to make fruit, the fruit rots
to make earth.”
"Shine, Perishing Republic" (1939)
“[…] faded smiles oft linger in the face,
While grief's first flakes fall silent on the head!”
