Who said you had to be human to have a soul? Everything that is self-conscious and capable of thought and love has a soul. The soul emanates from self-conscious. The soul is the expression of self-consciousness. The soul is generated by organized self-consciousness.

Anne Rice
About This Quote

The concept of a soul is a bit mystical and does not have a definite definition. However, the concept of a soul is a common theme in many religions and philosophies. The term soul first appeared in the first-century BC. It was used to describe someone’s spiritual essence or life force. In the metaphysical sense, a soul is the part of the human being that continues beyond death into another realm.
