Marcus Tullius CiceroBut if I am wrong in thinking the human soul immortal, I am glad to be wrong; nor will I allow the mistake which gives me so much pleasure to be wrested from me as long as I live.
About This Quote
If you believe that the human soul is mortal, then you would be happy to believe that it is immortal. You would also not allow the mistake which gives you pleasure (the belief that the soul is mortal) to be wrested from you as long as you live. The truth is, the human soul is immortal and the fact that it will continue to live forever, even after death, is one of the most wonderful gifts we can ever receive.
