I existed from all eternity and, behold, I am here; and I shall exist till the end of time, for my being has no end.

There’s place and means for every man alive.

Silence is as deep as eternity, speech a shallow as time.

Little children are still the symbol of the eternal marriage between love and duty.

It is by no means an irrational fancy that, in a future existence, we shall look upon what we think our present existence, as a dream.

Relationships are like traffic lights. And I just have this theory that I can only exist in a relationship if it’s a green light.

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

There is not a more unhappy being than a superannuated idol.

Life is our dictionary.

The outer passes away; the innermost is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

But blind to former as to future fate, what mortal knows his pre-existent state?

The world is so unpredictable. Things happen suddenly, unexpectedly. We want to feel we are in control of our own existence. In some ways we are, in some ways we’re not. We are ruled by the forces of chance and coincidence.

I do not know whether there are gods, but there ought to be.

Death is one moment, and life is so many of them.

Ignorant people see life as either existence or non-existence, but wise men see it beyond both existence and non-existence to something that transcends them both; this is an observation of the Middle Way.

This is the truth: as from a fire aflame thousands of sparks come forth, even so from the Creator an infinity of beings have life and to him return again.

The first thing which I can record concerning myself is, that I was born. These are wonderful words. This life, to which neither time nor eternity can bring diminution – this everlasting living soul, began. My mind loses itself in these depths.

One has to pay dearly for immortality; one has to die several times while one is still alive.

It is natural to die as to be born.

The stars shall fade away, the sun himself Grow dim with age, and nature sink in years, But thou shalt flourish in immortal youth, Unhurt amidst the wars of elements, The wrecks of matter, and the crush of worlds.

All books are divisible into two classes, the books of the hour, and the books of all time.

Real life? Well, I just hope mine isn’t investigated. They might find that I don’t really exist – that I’m just a hologram.

We all know we have a finite period of time. I just feel if I’m going to be alive, I want to be challenged – to be as immortal as possible. The path to that isn’t an easy way, but it’s a rewarding way.

Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.

In order to exist just once in the world, it is necessary never again to exist.

Knowledge about life is one thing; effective occupation of a place in life, with its dynamic currents passing through your being, is another.

My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all.

If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent Him.

We feel and know that we are eternal.

Reason has always existed, but not always in a reasonable form.

Give me my robe, put on my crown; I have Immortal longings in me.

Good is positive. Evil is merely privative, not absolute: it is like cold, which is the privation of heat. All evil is so much death or nonentity. Benevolence is absolute and real. So much benevolence as a man hath, so much life hath he.

Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance.

I have just got a new theory of eternity.

We cannot conceive of matter being formed of nothing, since things require a seed to start from… Therefore there is not anything which returns to nothing, but all things return dissolved into their elements.

It is a mania shared by philosophers of all ages to deny what exists and to explain what does not exist.

I don’t pretend to understand the Universe – it’s a great deal bigger than I am.

Surely God would not have created such a being as man, with an ability to grasp the infinite, to exist only for a day! No, no, man was made for immortality.

The state comes into existence for the sake of life and continues to exist for the sake of good life.

Let us be moral. Let us contemplate existence.

I do not believe in God; his existence has been disproved by Science. But in the concentration camp, I learned to believe in men.

Protecting the rights of even the least individual among us is basically the only excuse the government has for even existing.

Being is. Being is in-itself. Being is what it is.

What if nothing exists and we’re all in somebody’s dream?

All knowledge or form conception is evoked through the medium of the eye, either in response to disturbances directly received on the retina or to their fainter secondary effects and reverberations. Other sense organs can only call forth feelings which have no reality of existence and of which no conception can be formed.

Our existence is beyond our explanation, whether we believe in God or we have religion or we’re atheist. Our existence is beyond our understanding. No one has an answer.

Meaning and reality were not hidden somewhere behind things, they were in them, in all of them.

Love is anterior to life, posterior to death, initial of creation, and the exponent of breath.

Existence precedes and rules essence.

I do not believe in immortality of the individual, and I consider ethics to be an exclusively human concern with no superhuman authority behind it.

One who sees the Supersoul accompanying the individual soul in all bodies and who understands that neither the soul nor the Supersoul is ever destroyed, actually sees.

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.

You may say, ‚Well, dragons don’t exist.‘ It’s, like, yes they do – the category ‚predator‘ and the category ‚dragon‘ are the same category. It absolutely exists. It’s a superordinate category. It exists absolutely more than anything else. In fact, it really exists.

In order to exist, man must rebel, but rebellion must respect the limits that it discovers in itself – limits where minds meet, and in meeting, begin to exist.

What was God doing before the divine creation?

The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.

The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists.

The finite is annihilated in the presence of the infinite, and becomes a pure nothing. So our spirit before God, so our justice before divine justice.

We’re a blip in the existence of the universe, and we’re constantly trying to pull each other down. Not doing things to help each other.

Some day science may have the existence of mankind in power, and the human race can commit suicide by blowing up the world.

We think we have solved the mystery of creation. Maybe we should patent the universe and charge everyone royalties for their existence.
