Werner Von Braun
«Everything science has taught me strengthens my belief in the continuity of our spiritual existence after death. I believe in an immortal soul. Science has proved that nothing disintegrates into nothingness. Life and soul, therefore, cannot disintegrate into nothingness, and so are immortal.»
Carl Jung
«My life often seemed to me like a story that has no beginning and no end. I had the feeling that I was an historical fragment, an excerpt for which the preceding and succeeding text was missing. I could well imagine that I might have lived in former centuries and there encountered questions I was not yet able to answer; that I had been born again because I had not fulfilled the task given to me.»
Friedrich Nietzsche
«Live so that thou mayest desire to live again – that is thy duty – for in any case thou wilt live again!»
Herman Hesse, in Siddhartha
«He saw all these forms and faces in a thousand relationships become newly born. Each one was mortal, a passionate, painful example of all that is transitory. Yet none of them died, they only changed, were always reborn, continually had a new face: only time stood between one face and another.»
Socrates
«I am confident that there truly is such a thing as living again, that the living spring from the dead, and that the souls of the dead are in existence.»
Voltaire
«It is not more surprising to be born twice than once; everything in nature is resurrection.»
Arthur Schopenhauer (Philosopher)
«Were an Asiatic to ask me for a definition of Europe, I should be forced to answer him: It is that part of the world which is haunted by the incredible delusion that man was created out of nothing,
and that his present birth is his first entrance into life.»
Honore Balzac (French writer)
«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.»
Ralph Waldo Emerson
«The soul comes from without into the human body, as into a temporary abode, and it goes out of it anew it passes into other habitations, for the soul is immortal.« «It is the secret of the world that all things subsist and do not die, but only retire a little from sight and afterwards return again. Nothing is dead; men feign themselves dead, and endure mock funerals… and there they stand looking out of the window, sound and well, in some strange new disguise.»
Benjamin Franklin
«I look upon death to be as necessary to the constitution as sleep. We shall rise refreshed in the morning.»
Henry Ford
«I adopted the theory of reincarnation when I was 26. Genius is experience. Some think to seem that it is a gift or talent, but it is the fruit of long experience in many lives.»
Leo Tolstoy
«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.»
