The Secret of Secrets (Robert Langdon, #6)

by Dan Brown

The afterlife is a shared delusion…created to make our actual life bearable.

Guardian angels take many forms.

We proclaim the Truth that serves our needs.

At some point…skepticism itself becomes irrational.

Far too many fear death and regard it as the worst disaster that can befall them: they know nothing of what they speak. Death comes as a dissolution from an exhausted body…Just as the body leaves the mother’s womb when it is mature in it, so also does the soul leave the body when it has come to perfection.

‘The right book at the right time can save your life.’ ”
