One time he was asked if he believed in an afterlife. After a moment's hesitation he said no, that he thought there was only some kind of velvety cool blackness, adding then: Of course, I admit I may be wrong.

As we live through thousands of dreams in our present life, so is our present life only one of many thousands of such lives which we enter from the other more real life and then return after death. Our life is but one of the dreams of that more real life, and so it is endlessly, until the very last one, the very real the life of God. (Quote by - Count Leo Tolstoy)

This life is only one of a series of lives which our incarnated part has lived. I have little doubt of our having pre-existed; and that also in the time of our pre-existence we were actively employed. So, therefore, I believe in our active employment in a future life, and I like the thought. (Quote by - General Charles Chinese Gordon)

The soul is not born; it does not die; it was not produced from anyon Unborn, eternal, it is not slain, though the body is slain. (Quote by - Emerson)

The virtues we acquire, which develop slowly within us, are the invisible links that bind each one of our existences to the others - existences which the spirit alone remembers, for Matter has no memory for spiritual things. (Quote by - Honore Balzac)

Live so that thou mayest desire to live again - that is thy duty - for in any case thou wilt live again! (Quote by - Freidrich Nietzsche)
