Once in one's life, for one mortal moment, one must make a grab for immortality; if not, one has not lived.

Sylvester Stallone

We are eternal beings. We lived as intelligent spirits before this mortal life. We are now living part of eternity. Our mortal birth was not the beginning; death, which faces all of us, is not the end.

Ezra Taft Benson

The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. Since man is mortal, the only immortality possible for him is to leave something behind him that is immortal since it will always move. This is the artist's way of scribbling "Kilroy was here" on the wall of the final and irrevocable oblivion through which he must someday pass.

William Faulkner

I'm willing to look my own nightmare on film, but if it endangers my life, then I'm willing to put my life before movies.

John Travolta

I’m willing to look my own nightmare on film, but if it endangers my life, then I’m willing to put my life before movies.

John Travolta

Immortality is a ridiculous illusion, an empty word, a butterfly net chasing the wind.

Milan Kundera

Immortality alone could teach this mortal how to die.

Dinah

Life is mortal. There are all these rewards and consequences. Sometimes you embrace them, and sometimes they knock you over.

Kurt Vile

Comparatively, we are so much quicker to return favors and to pay our debts to mortals - and we should be responsive and grateful. But what of Him who gave us mortal life itself, who will ere long give us all immortality, and who proffers to the faithful the greatest gift of all, eternal life? We are poor bookkeepers, indeed!

Neal A. Maxwell

Poems On Life: Life is given to us, we earn it by giving it. Let the dead have the immortality of fame, but the living the immortality of love. Life's errors cry for the merciful beauty that can modulate their isolation into a harmony with the whole. Life, like a child, laughs, shaking its rattle of death as it runs.

Rabindranath Tagore

You have to be really willing to embrace life and life's turns, and play that for your audience, because there is value in every moment of that journey.

Lesley Ann Warren

Jesus became mortal to give you immortality; and today, through Him, you can be free.

David Jeremiah

Poets have said that the reason to have children is to give yourself immortality. Immortality? Now that I have five children, my only hope is that they are all out of the house before I die.

Bill Cosby

I'm not chasing championships. Championship's chasing us. I'm not doing that. I want my players to be better people once they leave campus because this is a life lesson. This is more than basketball. This is life lessons that we're trying to teach.

Kevin Ollie

There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations--these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat.
