…to emphasize the afterlife is to deny life. To concentrate on Heaven is to create hell. In their desperate longing to transcend the disorderliness, friction, and unpredictability that pesters life; in their desire for a fresh start in a tidy habitat, germ-free and secured by angels, religious multitudes are gambling the only life they may ever have on a dark horse in a race that has no finish line.

It must be so — Plato, thou reasonest well! Elsewhence this pleasing hope, this fond desire, This longing after immortality? Or whence this secret dread, and inward horror, Of falling into naught? Why shrinks the soul Back on herself, and startles at destruction? ‘Tis the divinity that stirs within us; ‘Tis heaven itself, that points out a hereafter, And intimates eternity to man. Eternity! thou pleasing, dreadful thought!

~~~~~~~

Men long for an afterlife in which there apparently is nothing to do but delight in heaven”s wonders

~~~~~~~

My poor friend, we don’t know what to do with this short life, and do you want another which shall be eternal!

~~~~~~~

Personally, I would be delighted if there were a life after death, especially if it permitted me to continue to learn about this world and others, if it gave me a chance to discover how history turns out

~~~~~~~

Some say that gleams of a remoter world Visit the soul in sleep — that death is slumber, And that its shapes the busy thoughts outnumber Of those who wake and live.

~~~~~~~

To put it in one word, the whole creation is recurrent. Whatsoever you are to meet with has been: whatsoever you are to lose will be. Nothing exists for the first time. All things return to their estate after having departed: all things begin when they have ceased. They come to an end simply that they may come to be: nothing perishes except with a view to salvation. Therefore this whole revolving scheme of things is an attestation of the resurrection of the dead.

~~~~~~~

We have no reliable guarantee that the afterlife will be any less exasperating than this one, have we?

~~~~~~~

What is our life but a succession of preludes to that unknown song whose first solemn note is sounded by death.
