― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

“To say it again, eternal life is less about a kind of time that starts when we die, and more about a quality and vitality of life now in connection to God.
Eternal life doesn't start when we die;
it starts now. It's not about a life that begins at death; it's about experiencing the kind of life now that can endure and survive even death.”
― Rob Bell, Love Wins: A Book About Heaven, Hell, and the Fate of Every Person Who Ever Lived

“You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once.”
― Robert A. Heinlein

“It is such a letdown to rise from the dead and have your friends not recognize you.”
― Rob Bell, Velvet Elvis: Repainting the Christian Faith
