Communities Quotes (page 46)

The word 'human' refers to something more than the bodily form or even the rational mind. It refers also to that community of blood and experience which unites all men and women on the Earth. C. S. Lewis
Stanislaw Lem quote: "How do you expect to communicate with the ocean, when you..."
How do you expect to communicate with the ocean, when you can’t even understand one another? Stanislaw Lem
Allen Ginsberg quote: "all Revolution and Consumption, Manufacture and Communication"
all Revolution and Consumption, Manufacture and Communication Allen Ginsberg
People who are normal (i. e., sane, sensible) don’t try to open lines of communication with total strangers by writing them a series of disjointed, weird, cryptic messages. Jon Ronson
In a dispassionate view the ardour for reform, improvement for virtue, for knowledge, and even beauty is only a vein sticking up for appearances as though one were anxious about the cut of ones clothes in a community of blind men. Joseph Conrad
Dear Friends: As one who has experimented extensively with life in the home and community, using real people in true-life situations, I doubt that any playthings could prepare a child for one millionth of what is going to hit him in the teeth, ready or not. Kurt Vonnegut
The bugs are not like us. The Pseudo-Arachnids aren’t even like spiders.

Robert A. Heinlein
No city, no town, no community of more than one thousand people or twohundred buildings to the square mile, shall be built or permitted to existanywhere in the United States of America. Leigh Brackett
It would seem as if the rulers of our time sought only to use men in order to make things great; I wish that they would try a little more to make great men; that they would set less value on the work and more upon the workman; that they would never forget that a nation cannot long remain strong when every man belonging to it is individually weak; and that no form or combination of social polity has yet been devised to make an energetic people out of a community of pusillanimous and enfeebled... Alexis de Tocqueville
William Golding quote: "They walked along, two continents of experience and feeling..."
They walked along, two continents of experience and feeling unable to communicate. William Golding
Larry, wouldn't it be a fine thing, a swell thing, a boon to the community of man and to all creatures great and small, if this girl's soul was as ripe and stunning as her ass. Tom Robbins
Arthur C. Clarke quote: "The more wonderful the means of communication, the more..."
The more wonderful the means of communication, the more trivial, tawdry, or depressing its contents seemed to be. Arthur C. Clarke
Our culture promotes individuality, while the Amish are deeply entrenched in community. To us, if someone stands out, it's no big deal because diversity is respected and expected. To the Amish, there's no room for deviation from the norm. It's important to fit in, because that similarity of identity is what defines the society. If you don't fit in, the consequences are psychological tragic, you stand alone when all you've ever known is being part of the group. Jodi Picoult
As our larynxes descended, we were able to make sounds with our mouths in new and far more expressive ways. Verbal language soon overtook physical gesturing as the primary means of communication for all human beings except Italians. (Earth (The Book), p. 36) Jon Stewart
The shared meal elevates eating from a mechanical process of fueling the body to a ritual of family and community, from the mere animal biology to an act of culture. Michael Pollan
