Mary Wollstonecraft Quotes

Should I perchance still feel after my death, I would no longer have any doubt, but I would most certainly give the lie to anyone asserting before me that I was dead.

Death does not exist.

Either the soul survives death or it does not, and there is no scientific evidence that it does.

I'm always curious about what happens when we die. And I'd like to think that somehow the spirit goes on. I'd rather not think that it's just about this.

We fear death so profoundly, not because it means the end of our body, but because it means the end of our consciousness - better to be a spirit in Heaven than a zombie on Earth.

The belief of immortality is impressed upon all men, and all men act under an impression of it, however they may talk, and though, perhaps, they may be scarcely sensible of it.

Our mind thinks of death. Our heart thinks of life. Our soul thinks of Immortality.

Whether you think of it as heavenly or as earthly, if you love life immortality is no consolation for death.

Someone dying asks if there is life after death. Yes, comes the answer, only not yours.

The Qur'an says that every soul must taste of death. None of us can escape that, but for you there is no such thing as 'death'.

(Socrates) said there were only two possibilities. Either the soul is immortal or, after death, things would be again as blank as they were before we were born.
