Quotations
Death
-Mark Twain "Mark Twain"
Desireless, serene, immortal, self-existent, contented with the essence, lacking nothing, is He. One has no fear of death who has known Him, the Atman - serene, ageless, youthful.
-Vedas "Atharva Veda"
They are forever free who renounce all selfish desires and break away from the ego-cage of ‘I’, ‘me’, and ‘mine’ to be united with the Lord. Attain to this, and pass from death to immortality.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagavad Gita 2.71"
Is there a rebirth or reincarnation? Definitely yes... But according to the law of
nature, if you do not exist at all, then you cannot be 'born'; and if you exist, you
cannot be destroyed.
-Deep Trivedi
Ashes fly back in the face of him who throws them.
-Proverbs "Yoruba proverb"
Is there a rebirth? No, not at all. From the perspective of what you think as
your way of being, like your name, your family, your country, society, religion or
wealth, all these will surely cease to exist forever with your death.
-Deep Trivedi
Behind all fears of man, there is only one fear, the fear of death. The one who
conquers this fear is bound to win over fear itself.
-Deep Trivedi
Hark! Hark to the wind! Tis the night, they say, when all souls come back from the far away - The dead, forgotten this many a day!
-Virna Sheard "Virna Sheard"
Let no one weep for me, or celebrate my funeral with mourning; for I still live, as I pass to and fro through the mouths of men.
-Quintus Ennius "Quintus Ennius"
Some people are so afraid to die that they never begin to live.
