“Everything is eternal
Nothingness does not exist
No thing has ever become nothing
And nothing has never become something
What is has always been and will always be”

“"Can any good come out of Nazareth?" This is always the question of the wiseacres and the knowing ones.

Ludwig Feuerbach (1804–1872) German philosopher and anthropologist

As quoted in "Voices of the New Time" as translated by C. C. Shackford in The Radical Vol. 7 (1870), p. 329
