"Why should we be startled by death?
Life is a constant putting off of the
mortal coil - coat, cuticle,
flesh and bones, all old clothes."
As far back as i can remember
I have unconsciously referred to
the experiences of a previous
state of existence..."
—H.D. Thoreau
"The soul comes from without into the human body, as into a temporary abode,and it goes out of it anew it
passes into other habitations,
for the soul is immortal."
"It is the secret of the world
that all things subsist and do not die,
but only retire a little from sight and
afterwards return again.
Nothing is dead;
men feign themselves dead,
and endure mock funerals…
and there they stand looking
out of the window, sound and well,
in some strange new disguise."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
