Quote by Arthur Schopenhauer

After your death you will be what you were before your birth.

After your death you will be what you were before your birth

Summary

This quote suggests that there is nothing after death, and that after we die, we return to a state of non-existence, just as we were before we were born. It implies a viewpoint that dismisses notions of an afterlife or reincarnation, emphasizing the finite nature of human existence, and highlighting the idea that our consciousness or being comes to an end with death. It encourages contemplation on the cyclical nature of life and the transience of our existence.

But I have ever thought religion a concern purely between our God and our consciences, for which we were accountable to him, and not to the priests. I never told my own religion, nor scrutinized that of another. I never attempted to make a convert, nor wished to change another's creed. I have ever judged of the religion of others by their lives, and by this test, my dear Madam, I have been satisfied yours must be an excellent one, to have produced a life of such exemplary virtue and correctness. For it is in our lives, and not from our words, that our religion must be read. By the same test the world must judge me.
