Humanities Quotes (page 12)

Humans! They lived in the world where the grass continued to be green and the sun rose every day and flowers regularly turned into fruit, and what impressed them? Weeping statues. And wine made out of water! A mere quantum-mechanistic tunnel effect, that'd happen anyway if you were prepared to wait zillions of years. As if the turning of sunlight into wine, by means of vines and grapes and time and anzymes, wasn't a thousand times more impressive and happened all the time... Terry Prachett
F. Scott Fitzgerald quote: "Human sympathy has its limits, and we were contented to let..."
Human sympathy has its limits, and we were contented to let all their tragic arguments fade with the city lights behind. F. Scott Fitzgerald
Human beings were given a left foot and a right foot to make a mistake first to the left, then to the right, left again and repeat. R. Buckminster Fuller
Albert Einstein quote: "Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust, we all dance to a..."
Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper. Albert Einstein
George Washington quote: "Human happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected."
Human happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected. George Washington
Tom Holt quote: "Human beings can get used to virtually anything, given plenty..."
Human beings can get used to virtually anything, given plenty of time and no choice in the matter whatsoever. Tom Holt
Human manners are wildly inconsistent; plenty of people have said so. But this one takes the cake: the manner in which we're allowed to steal from future generations, while commanding them not to do that to us, and rolling our eyes at anyone who is tediously PC enough to point that out. The conspicious consumption of limited resources has yet to be accepted widely as a spirtual error, or even bad manners. Barbara Kingsolver
Human life occurs only once, and the reason we cannot determine which of our decisions are good and which bad is that in a given situation we can make only one decision; we are not granted a second, third, or fourth life in which to compare various decisions. Milan Kundera
Human nature is so constituted that the propensity for evil is always intensified by external circumstances, and the morality of the individual depends much more on the conditions of his existence and the environment in which he lives than on his own will. Mikhail Bakunin
Wallace Stevens quote: "Human nature is like water. It takes the shape of its container."
Human nature is like water. It takes the shape of its container. Wallace Stevens
Human beings would split the atom and invent television, nylon, and instant coffee before they could figure out the age of their own planet. Bill Bryson
Stephen King quote: "Human Nature Baby, grab it and growl."
Human Nature Baby, grab it and growl. Stephen King
Human knowledge is not (or does not follow) a straight line, but a curve, which endlessly approximates a series of circles, a spiral. Any fragment, segment, section of this curve can be transformed (transformed one-sidedly) into an independent, complete, straight line, which then (if one does not see the wood for the trees) leads into the quagmire, into clerical obscurantism (where it is anchored by the class interests of the ruling classes). Vladimir Lenin
Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt quote: "Human nature must be something which always remains one and..."
Human nature must be something which always remains one and the same, but which may be carried out in manifold ways. Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt
Humanity, let us say, is like people packed in an automobile which is traveling downhill without lights at terrific speed and driven by a four-year-old child. The signposts along the way are all marked 'Progress. Lord Dunsany
