Ingmar Bergman Quotes

If everything that ever lived is dead, and everything alive is gonna die...where does the sacred part come in?

Your faith is very important. I have done the math, and you are going to be dead a whole lot longer that you will be alive.

We die, and we do not die.

Life is hardly more than a fraction of a second. Such a little time to prepare oneself for eternity!

Death is a false fear. When it is here, you won't be. When it's not, you are here.

We can imagine our bodies being destroyed, our brains ceasing to function, our bones turning to dust, but it is harder - some would say impossible - to imagine the end of our very existence.

Afterlife, in my mind, is pretty much nothing. This is it. This is what we get, for me.

I also believe that when one dies, one may wake up to the reality that proves that time does not exist.

You live you die and death not ends it.

Since the Creator had made the facts of the after-life inaccessible to man, He must not have required that man understand death in order to live fruitfully.

If death were the end, then there is no God, and there are no realised masters - it is all a pack of lies. The great ones wouldn't urge you to became better, for what would be the use if, good or bad, we are all junked at the end of life? What would be the value of the scriptures? There would be no justice whatsoever if this present existence is all there is to each individual life. What of those souls who lived only a few years, or lived in blind or crippled bodies?

I believe that when I die I shall rot, and nothing of my ego will survive.

Long life, and short, are by death made all one; for there is no long, nor short, to things that are no more.

When you're dead, you don't breathe, you don't see, you don't feel, you don't love.

Our death is our wedding with eternity.

Death is only a small interruption.

Where do you go when you die? The same place you were before you were born; nowhere! It's over!

The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity.

Unbeing dead isn't being alive.

Death does not concern us, because as long as we exist, death is not here. And when it does come, we no longer exist.

If we don't know life, how can we know death?

For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity.

No man can pass into eternity, for he is already in it.

When we die our money, fame, and honors will be meaningless. We own nothing in this world. Everything we think we own is in reality only being loaned to us until we die. And on our deathbed at the moment of death, no one but God can save our souls.

The body dies, but the spirit that transcends it cannot be touched by death.
