Eternity is not something that begins after you're dead. It is going on all the time. We are in it now.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
One definition of eternity is that we are not alone on this planet, that there are those who've gone before and those who will come, and that there is a community of spirits.
No man can pass into eternity, for he is already in it.
Eternity's a terrible thought. I mean, where's it all going to end?
Eternity eludes us, even as a thought.
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.
Today is a part of eternity.
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.
I have just got a new theory of eternity.
When Time is spent, Eternity begins.
