“To live when you do not want to is dreadful, but it would be even more terrible to be immortal when you did not want to be. As things are, however, the whole ghastly burden is suspended from me by a thread which I can cut in two with a penny-knife.” WantI CanTwoWholeWould BeCuttingTerribleBurdenImmortalKnivesThreadPenniesSuspendedGhastly Author:Georg C.

“I think I have fairly heard and fairly weighed the evidence on both sides, and I remain an utter disbeliever in almost all that you consider the most sacred truths... I can see much to admire in all religions... But whether there be a God and whatever be His nature; whether we have an immortal soul or not, or whatever may be our state after death, I can have no fear of having to suffer for the study of nature and the search for truth.” ThinkingMayI CanSoulStatesSufferingSidesStudyHeardEvidenceSacredAdmireImmortalBoth SidesNo FearAfter DeathHave No FearSearch For TruthImmortal SoulDisbelievers Author:Alfred Russel Wallace
