6
Annie Besant
Death consists, indeed, in a repeated process of unrobing, or unsheathing. The immortal part of man shakes off from itself, one after the other, its outer casings, and - as the snake from its skin, the butterfly from its chrysalis - emerges from one after another, passing into a higher state of consciousness.

Jorge Luis Borges
To be immortal is commonplace; except for man, all creatures are immortal, for they are ignorant of death; what is divine, terrible, incomprehensible, is to know that one is immortal.
8
Jorge Luis Borges
The truth is that we live out our lives putting off all that can be put off; perhaps we all know deep down that we are immortal and that sooner or later all men will do and know all things.
9
Jorge Luis Borges
My undertaking is not difficult, essentially. I should only have to be immortal to carry it out.
10
Samuel Butler
To himself everyone is immortal; he may know that he is going to die, but he can never know that he is dead.
