I am incapable of conceiving infinity, and yet I do not accept finity. I want this adventure that is the context of my life to go on without end. | |
— Simone de Beauvoir | |
[Happy Birthday to me! Actually, I’ve found the older I get and the more brushes with death I have, the more accepting I am of my own mortality and of the greater infinite context beyond this one. But I’m nowhere near ready to start it! — KMAB] | |

Franklin’s Epitaph |
|
The Body of B. Franklin, | |
Printer; | |
like the Cover of an old Book, | |
Its Contents torn out, | |
And stript of its Lettering and Gilding, | |
Lies here, | |
Food for Worms. | |
But the Work shall not be wholly lost; | |
For it will, | |
as he believ’d, | |
appear once more, | |
In a new & more perfect Edition, | |
Corrected and amended By the Author. | |
— Written by Benjamin Franklin | |

What shall we know of our death? Either the soul is immortal and we shall not die, or it perishes with the flesh and we shall not know that we are dead. Live, then, as if you were eternal, and do not believe that your life has changed merely because it seems proved that the Earth is empty. You do not live in the Earth, you live in yourself. | |
— André Maurois | |

I Do Not Fear It
Posted in Faith Family and Friends, Other Blogs, Philosophy, Quotes, tagged Eiffel Tower, Faith, On Life After Death, On The Fear Of Death, Other Blogs, Paris, Philosophy, Quotes, responsiveuniverse.wordpress.com, Roger Ebert on June 22, 2013| Leave a Comment »
I know it is coming (death), and I do not fear it, because I believe there is nothing on the other side of death to fear. I hope to be spared as much pain as possible on the approach path. I was perfectly content before I was born, and I think of death as the same state. I am grateful for the gifts of intelligence, love, wonder and laughter. You can’t say it wasn’t interesting. My lifetime’s memories are what I have brought home from the trip. I will require them for eternity no more than that little souvenir of the Eiffel Tower I brought home from Paris. | |

When I think about my own death, I don’t console myself with the idea that my descendants and my books and all that will live on. Anybody with any sense knows that the whole solar system will go up like a celluloid collar by-and-by. I honestly believe, though, that we are wrong to think that moments go away, never to be seen again. This moment and every moment lasts forever. | |
