I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Man, as long as he lives, is immortal. One minute before his death he shall be immortal. But one minute later, God wins.
Now is eternity; now is the immortal life.
To himself everyone is immortal; he may know that he is going to die, but he can never know that he is dead.
Hateful to me as the gates of Hades is that man who hides one thing in his heart and speaks another.
Death is not an event in life: we do not live to experience death. If we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present.
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.
From the middle of life onward, only he remains vitally alive who is ready to die with life.
We are eternal beings. We lived as intelligent spirits before this mortal life. We are now living part of eternity. Our mortal birth was not the beginning; death, which faces all of us, is not the end.
Eternal life and the invisible world are only to be sought in God. Only within Him do all spirits dwell. He is an abyss of individuality, the only infinite plenitude.
I am not immortal. Faustus and I are the also-ran.
