I don't believe in an afterlife,
so I don't have to spend my whole
life fearing hell, or fearing
heaven even more. For whatever the
tortures of hell, I think the
boredom of heaven would be even
worse.
--Isaac
Asimov - American Scientist
1920-1992
I regard the afterlife to be a
fairy story for people that are
afraid of the dark.
--Stephen
Hawking is a famous English
Physicist born in 1942.
I find it difficult to imagine an
afterlife, such as Christians, or
at any rate many religious people,
conceive it, believing that the
conversations with relatives and
friends interrupted here on earth
will be continued in the
hereafter.
--Edvard
Munch – Norwegian Artist 1863-1944
I had to get rid of any idea of
hell or any idea of the afterlife.
That's what held me, kept me down.
So now I just have nothing but
contempt for the institution of
the church.
--Frank
McCourt – Irish Author Born 1930
I happen to believe that there is
an afterlife.
--Beatrice
Wood – American Artist 1893-1993
Likewise the leader of any state
has to do the same, he has to
enforce Shariah firmly, for he
will be held in account later in
the afterlife if he fails.
--Abu
Bakar Bashir – Indonesian Activist
Born 1938
Men long for an afterlife in which
there apparently is nothing to do
but delight in heaven's wonders.
--Louis
D. Brandeis – American Judge
1856-1941
We have no reliable guarantee that
the afterlife will be any less
exasperating than this one, have
we?
--Noel
Coward – English Playwright
1899-1973
Well, we can't say any more than
we can say there is no god, there
is no afterlife. We can only say
there is no persuasive evidence
for or argument for it.
--Christopher
Hitchens – American Author Born
1949
Why do people embrace God? In my
opinion, belief in God and an
afterlife is a necessary extension
of man's need to feel that this
life does not end with what we
call death.
--Robert
Vaughn – American Actor Born 1932
I believe the simplest explanation
is, there is no God. No one
created the universe and no one
directs our fate. This leads me to
a profound realization that there
probably is no heaven and no
afterlife either. We have this one
life to appreciate the grand
design of the universe and for
that, I am extremely grateful.
--Stephen

Physicist born in 1942.
I do not believe in an afterlife,
although I am bringing a change of
underwear.
