“[On the Human Soul] While the Bible offers a clear distinction that the soul is separate from the body and discusses the idea of eternal life in a general context, it may come as a surprise that the Bible does not specifically indicate that the human soul is immortal. The postulation that we have an immortal soul is an extrapolation or ‘a reading between the lines ’ made by the Church Fathers. Even though the Bible itself cannot affirm the eternal soul, this has been the prevailing thought for billions of people.”

“...you must be constant in the use of means and lay hold on every opportunity of enjoying the gospel. This our Lord commends in Mary, calling her attendance on the word preached a choosing the "good part" (Luke 10:42). There, you will taste the crystal streams and view the golden minds of sound doctrine and wells of salvation. This is the place of spiritual wonders where the dead are raised, the lepers cleansed, the eyes of the blind opened, and the devils ejected. Gospel ordinances are the golden galleries where the King of Glory walks, the bed where immortal souls are begotten unto God, and in which the broken hearts do travail till Christ is formed in them [Gal. 4:19]. Through these golden pipes, the water of life is poured out on thirsty, panting souls for the cheering of their spirits. Here is the doctrine preached and words where by you must be saved (Acts 10). Here, Christ's mother found Him, it being the place where the Bridegroom and the bride meet and solace themselves together.”

“Penso agli atti coraggiosi delle antiche storie e canzoni, signor Frodo, quelle ch'io chiamo avventure. Credevo che i meravigliosi protagonisti delle leggende partissero in cerca di esse, perché le desideravano, essendo cose entusiasmanti che interrompevano la monotonia della vita, uno svago, un divertimento. Ma non accadeva così nei racconti veramente importanti, in quelli che rimangono nella mente. Improvvisamente la gente si trovava coinvolta e quello, come dite voi, era il loro sentiero. Penso che anche essi come noi ebbero molte occasioni di tornare indietro, ma non lo fecero. E se lo avessero fatto noi non lo sapremmo, perché sarebbero stati obliati. Noi sappiamo di coloro che proseguirono, e non tutti verso una felice fine, badate bene; o comunque non verso quella che i protagonisti di una storia chiamano una felice fine. Capite quel che intendo dire: tornare a casa e trovare tutto a posto, anche se un po' cambiato... Come il vecchio signor Bilbo.”
