Oliver Joseph Lodge Quotes

Death is not a word to fear, any more than birth is.

They definitely mean to maintain that the process called death is a mere severence of soul and body, and that the soul is freed rather than injured thereby.

Death is not extinction. Neither the soul nor the body is extinguished or put out of existence.

Whatever life may really be, it is to us an abstraction: for the word is a generalised term to signify that which is common to all animals and plants, and which is not directly operative in the inorganic world.

The properties which differentiate living matter from any kind of inorganic imitation may be instinctively felt, but can hardly be formulated without expert knowledge.

But although life is not energy, any more than it is matter, yet it directs energy and thereby controls arrangements of matter.
