The Nothing After Death/Quotes

No light? They always said there would be a light...

—Matriarch Benezia, Mass Effect

And so we return again to the holy void. Some say this is simply our destiny, but I would have you remember always that the void EXISTS, just as surely as you or I. Is nothingness any less a miracle than substance?

—Sister Miriam Godwinson, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri

Every day I'm dead a little longer, Mister Conagher. I have seen the other side. There is nothing there. FIX. THIS. MACHINE.

—Blutarch Mann, Team Fortress 2

In your first and final venture into deadness, you may notice how the weather is neither hot nor cold, and how there are no rainy days or sunny days. Or more specifically, you may have noticed how "weather" does not exist. Do not be alarmed. In fact, you may find in your dead state that approximately 100% of the sensations and phenomena you were familiar with in your living days are conspicuously non-existent.

—Uncyclopedia, "You Are Dead"

Love of mine, someday you will die
But i'll be close behind, i'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light, or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight, waiting for the hint of a spark
If Heaven and Hell decide that they both are satisfied
Illuminate the nos on their vacancy signs
If there's noone beside you when your soul embarks

I'll follow you into the dark

—Death Cab For Cutie, I Will Follow You Into the Dark

I don't mind dying, I mind being dead for such a long time.

—A Czech joke

I see...only darkness...before me...

—Arthas, World of Warcraft

"If you seek him you will find him. But if you forsake him he will reject you forever."

—King David, Chronicles.

Pray to your maker, absolve thee of sin
And pray to ancestors, to all your dead kin
Pray to your mother and pray to your father
And pray to your uncle and sister and brother
Aim your prayers skyward to heaven on high
And cast those prayers into that cold lake of fire
And then you'll discover, with your final breath

Your prayers were all futile, unheeded by death

—Sons of Perdition, Psalm of Retribution

So this is hell for people who don't believe in it. Nothing but blackness and no fucking cigarettes for all eternity.

—Spider Jerusalem, Transmetropolitan
