![“Where is the soul? . . . I refuse to believe anything of that kind without proof. The idea that, as soon as a man's breath leaves his body, the soul flops out like a chicken's head and flies off into space to find a lodgment where there [are] harps and haloes. Too much for me.” quote by Robert Green Ingersoll](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/f49/robert-green-ingersoll-361_believe_where-is-the-soul-i-refuse-to-believe-an_755809.jpg)
