Quotations about eternity | |
I do not myself feel that any person who is really profoundly humane can believe in everlasting punishment. Whatever may happen to thee, it was prepared for thee from all eternity; and the implication of causes was from eternity spinning the thread of thy being, and of that which is incident to it. It is difficult beyond description to conceive that space can have no end; but it is more difficult to conceive an end. It is difficult beyond the power of man to conceive an eternal duration of what we call time; but it is more impossible to conceive a time when there shall be no time. What, if some day or night, a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: Under all speech that is good for anything there lies a silence that is better. Silence is deep as Eternity; speech is shallow as Time. |
