"From my rotting body, flowers shall grow and I am in them, and that is eternity."

"the saddest thing is to bea minute to someone,when you've made them your eternity."

"In imagination she sailed over storied seas that wash the distant shining shores of "faëry lands forlorn,"where lost Atlantis and Elysium lie, with the evening star for pilot, to the land of Heart's Desire.

"There is nothing more important than your eternal salvation."

"Every time you do a good deed you shine the light a little farther into the dark. And the thing is, when you're gone that light is going to keep shining on, pushing the shadows back."

"Redemption, n. Deliverance of sinners from the penalty of their sin through their murder of the deity against whom they sinned. The doctrine of Redemption is the fundamental mystery of our holy religions, and whoso believeth in it shall not perish, but have everlasting life in which to try to understand it."

"As if you could kill time without injuring eternity."

"The desire to live life to its fullest, to acquire more knowledge, to abandon the economic treadmill, are all typical reactions to these experiences in altered states of consciousness. The previous fear of death is typically quelled. If the individual generally remains thereafter in the existential state of awareness, the deep internal feeling of eternity is quite profound and unshakable."

"This day is not a sieve, losing time. With each passing minute, each passing year, there's this deepening awareness that I am filling, gaining time. We stand on the brink of eternity."

"We do not need to grieve for the dead. Why should we grieve for them? They are now in a place where there is no more shadow, darkness, loneliness, isolation, or pain. They are home."

"No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man."
