    Reality   Mind   Birth  
  • Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death.

  • The story of my recent life.' I like that phrase. It makes more sense than 'the story of my life', because we get so many lives between birth and death. A life to be a child. A life to come of age. A life to wander, to settle, to fall in love, to parent, to test our promise, to realize our mortality- and in some lucky cases, to do something after that realization.

    Love   Children   Fall  
  • In this uncertain space between birth and death, especially here at the end of the world in Moonlight Bay, we need hope as surely as we need food and water, love and friendship. The trick, however, is to remember that hope is a perilous thing, that it's not a steel and concrete bridge across the void between this moment and a brighter future. Hope is no stronger than tremulous beads of dew strung on a filament of spider web, and it alone can't long support the terrible weight of an anguished mind and a tortured heart.

    Heart   Bridges   Space  
    Dean Koontz (2007). “Seize the Night: A Novel”, p.47, Bantam

  • Each galaxy, star, or person is the temporary owner of particles that have passed through the births and deaths of entities across vast reaches of time and space. The particles that make us have traveled billions of years across the universe; long after we and our planet are gone, they will be a part of other worlds.

    Neil Shubin (2013). “The Universe Within: The Deep History of the Human Body”, p.33, Vintage
  • The wheel goes round and round and round forever. Pleasure, pain, birth and death, lifetime after lifetime, it is endless. All sentient beings experience this, the endless dance of life, the lila.

  • The worlds in which man is evolving as he treads the circle of births and deaths are three: the physical world, the astral or intermediate world, the mental or heavenly world.

    Men   Circles   Three  
  • This is the real and urgent reason why we must prepare now to meet death wisely, to transform our karmic future, and to avoid the tragedy of falling into delusion again and again and repeating the painful round of birth and death. This life is the only time and place we can prepare in, and we can only truly prepare through spiritual practice: This is the inescapable message of the natural bardo of this life.

    Death   Spiritual   Real

    Soliloquies in England and Later Soliloquies "War Shrines" (1922)

    Funny   Life   Birth  
    Tom Robbins (2003). “Jitterbug Perfume”, p.33, Bantam
  • The state between birth and death is not sympathetic. It is a flow system. Whatever your conscious level is, that is how you will reincarnate.

    Levels   Flow   Birth  
  • Meditation speaks. It speaks in silence. It reveals. It reveals to the aspirant that matter and spirit are one, quantity and quality are one, the immanent and the transcendent are one. It reveals that life can never be the mere existence of seventy or eighty years between birth and death, but is, rather, Eternity itself.

    Loyalty   Jobs   Science

    Death   God   Men  
    Oswald Chambers (2011). “The Quotable Oswald Chambers”, p.52, Discovery House
  • To be alive means to live in a world that proceeded one’s own arrival and will survive one’s own departure. On this level of sheer being alive, appearance and disappearance, as they follow upon each other, are the primordial events, which as such mark out time, the time span between birth and death.

    Mean   Events   Alive  
  • Life is the coexistence of all opposite values. Joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain, up and down, hot and cold, here and there, light and darkness, birth and death. All experience is by contrast, and one would be meaningless without the other.
