To regard ones immortality as an exchange of matter is as strange as predicting the future of a violin case once the expensive violin it held has broken and lost its worth.
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
The only thing wrong with immortality is that it tends to go on forever, but what's wrong with that, really?
Herbert Eugene Caen
The immortality of the soul is a matter which is of so great consequence to us and which touches us so profoundly that we must have lost all feeling to be indifferent about it.
Blaise Pascal
If you were to destroy the belief in immortality in mankind, not only love but every living force on which the continuation of all life in the world depended, would dry up at once.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It is not for man to rest in absolute contentment. He is born to hopes and aspirations as the sparks fly upward, unless he has brutified his nature and quenched the spirit of immortality which is his portion.
Robert Southey

Arthur Schopenhauer
You can believe in God without believing in immortality, but it is hard to see how anyone can believe in immortality and not believe in God

Life is the childhood of our immortality.
Goethe
Millions long for immortality who do not know what to do with themselves on a rainy Sunday afternoon.
SUSAN ERTZ
Lovers of air travel find it exhilarating to hang poised between the illusion of immortality and the fact of death.
