The chief problem about death. . . is the fear that there may be no afterlife - a depressing thought.
I was born into the most remarkable and eccentric family I could possibly have hoped for.
Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting; The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star, Hath had elsewhere its setting, And cometh from afar.
It is my sincere opinion that our precious time on earth should not be spent attempting to justify unbelievable acts of cruelty, death, and disease as a part of 'God’s Plan' or the greater good — and clinging to ancient texts that preach ill-concealed bigotry and sexism. Instead, we should find ways to make this life happy and satisfying, without regard to the unknowable nature of an afterlife.
I'm an atheist, and I don't have any belief in an afterlife.
I don't believe in an afterlife but I still fully expect to see my brother again.
Singularity is seen as an event horizon. There's everything that comes before it and everything that comes after it and never the twain shall meet, in much the same way that Judeo-Christian theology presents its notion of the afterlife - there's a very clear and impermeable demarcation there.
My children didn't when they were little because I thought that they had to be of a certain age. I hoped they liked me well enough not to want to see me in that sort of a spot.
I believe that everybody, whether you believe in the afterlife or the chance of a near-death experience and you come back and you see someone [on the other side] - whether that has happened or not, I don't know, but certainly everyone has thought about it at some point or another in time. It's a fantasy that if there is anything out there like that, it would be just terrific, but that remains to be seen.
Belief in God? An afterlife? I believe in rock: this apodictic rock beneath my feet.
Life is cruel. Why should the afterlife be any different? I offer you a choice. Join my crew. . . and postpone the judgment. One hundred years before the mast. Will ye serve?
They don't subscribe to our sense of morality; they don't believe in an afterlife; they don't believe in a God or religion. And the only morality they recognize, therefore, is what will advance the cause or socialism.
Memory is the only afterlife I have ever believed in. But the forgetting inside us cannot be stopped. We are programmed to betray.
Work for your terrestrial life in proportion to your location in it, and work for your afterlife in proportion to your eternity in it.
What wise God would consign a man to Hell for ignorance, instead of teaching him better in the afterlife?
From adult diapers to bedpans? Move over, Elvis, I’m the afterlife of the party!
The living are made of nothing but flaws. The dead, with each passing day in the afterlife, become more and more impeccable to those who remain earthbound.
If you want to believe in reincarnation, you have to believe that this life, what you're living through right now, is the afterlife. You're missing out on the afterlife you looked forward to in your last existence by worrying about your next life. This is what happens after you die. Take a look.
The men and women who serve in our military have won for us every hour we live in freedom, sometimes at the expense of the very hours of the lifetimes they had hoped to live.
The most important philosophy I think is that even if it isn't true you must absolutely assume there is no afterlife.
