![“But I just don't think it's an abyss of nothingness [after death] and that we fall off and that our journey stops. I think it's circular and we go and we go and we go. I know that there are civilizations that I think are way more sophisticated than we are and I think more sophisticated…” quote by Halle Berry](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/e3c/halle-berry-2312_abyss_but-i-just-don-t-think-it-s-an-abyss-of_891239.jpg)
![“The anxiety engendered by confronting the abyss of nothingness [of the loss of self] is more terrifying than the tortures of hell. In the vision of hell, I am punished and tortured—In the vision of nothingness I am driven to the border of madness—because I cannot say ‘I’ any more.” quote by Erich Fromm](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/b64/erich-fromm-367_anxiety_the-anxiety-engendered-by-confronting-th_2110928.jpg)
