Quotes About Immortal

Life is eternal; and love is immortal; and death is only a horizon; and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.

All this talk of oblivion, of wanting nothing and becoming nobody, seems rather contradictory from a Buddhist sense.

I think in a 1980s comedy version, Steve Martin would be a Pilgrim who's, like, cursed by a witch and time-travels and ends up very, very tiny living inside my skull. And the witch is Lily Tomlin and she's immortal and now she's running an oil company I work for or something.

Few concepts have offered greater scope for human cruelty than the idea of an immortal soul that stands independent of all material influences, ranging from genes to economic systems.

Can sensual pleasure be the great end of an immortal spirit in this life? That pleasure cannot be lasting, and it must be followed by remorse, which is obtained either by doing injustice to, or degrading, a fellow-creature.

O miserable condition of man, which is not imprinted by God, who, as he is immortal himself, had put a coal, a beam of immortality into us, which we might have blown into a flame, but blew it by our first sin; we beggared ourselves by hearkening after falses riches, and infatuated ourselves by hearkening after false knowledge.
~ John Donne
Since heaven's eternal year is thine.
~ John Dryden
Creation is quite impressionable. Everyone leaves a trail of their actions. And everyone, however wise, however powerful, however immortal, makes mistakes. All it requires is the patience to wait for them. And you'll find no one, in all Creation, quite so patient as Death.
