There is a sort of mental treason That smothers dreams outside of reason

There is no beyond, there is only here, the infinitely small, infinitely great and utterly demanding present.

Actually, the substitution of the reality-principle for the pleasure-principle denotes no dethronement of the pleasure-principle, but only a safeguarding of it. A momentary pleasure, uncertain in its results, is given up, but only in order to gain in the new way an assured pleasure coming later. But the end psychic impression made by this substitution has been so powerful that it is mirrored in a special religious myth. The doctrine of reward in a future life for the—voluntary or enforced—renunciation of earthly lusts is nothing but a mythical projection of this revolution in the mind. In logical pursuit of this prototype, religions have been able to effect the absolute renunciation of pleasure in this life by means of the promise of compensation in a future life; they have not, however, achieved a conquest of the pleasure-principle this way. It is science which comes nearest to succeeding in this conquest; science, however, also offers intellectual pleasure during its work and promises practical gain at the end.

It explains why women butcher their bodies, with cosmetic surgery and breast implants. It also explains why people make unrealistic promises when they marry, though they are not swans, are not biologically monogamous. They deny primal instincts, such as violence, hate, and war, naturally exist inside them. For they are, the great pretenders.

The mother provides a spirit with a womb and nurtures it for months before birth, and years thereafter.

Live Life, Laugh Lots, and Love Big!

Memories are aches; they are the laughter Smiles of time flee to seize the hereafter

For you are Love and as Love you shall live eternally. For Love is eternal. For you are Love.

Science is: Knowing that what is, has always been. Science ain't discovering anything new.

The library would've cheered me up, most days. I loved the heavy oaken tables, the high walls stacked with books to the ceiling, the musty smell of old pages and the heavy brass fixtures that had gone dark with age and wear.

The soul takes nothing with her to the next world but her education and her culture. At the beginning of the journey to the next world, one's education and culture can either provide the greatest assistance, or else act as the greatest burden, to the person who has just died.

There is an afterlife. I am convinced of this.

He hoped and prayed that there wasn't an afterlife. Then he realized there was a contradiction involved here and merely hoped that there wasn't an afterlife.

We have no reliable guarantee that the afterlife will be any less exasperating than this one, have we?

I love 'Afterlife with Archie.'

Smiths songs certainly have an astonishing afterlife.
