The writers are writing human beings, and they're writing about the human condition and how difficult it is to function in that condition. I think it's one of the charms of the show, the idea of redemption and working towards becoming better people, for everybody involved. George Dzundza
The important thing is that we now have the tools to sequence all kinds of animals and plants and microbes - as well as humans. It is not important that we didn't actually finish the human sequence yet. Freeman Dyson
Friedrich Durrenmatt quote: "The problems of all of humanity can only be solved by all of..."
The problems of all of humanity can only be solved by all of humanity. Friedrich Durrenmatt
Friedrich Durrenmatt quote: "The difference between humans and wild animals is that humans..."
The difference between humans and wild animals is that humans pray before they commit murder. Friedrich Durrenmatt
There is no room for legal hair-splitting when it comes to the humane treatment of detainees - not in a nation founded on the rule of law and respect for human rights. Dick Durbin
Thus, in accordance with the spirit of the Historical School, knowledge of the principles of the human world falls within that world itself, and the human sciences form an independent system. Wilhelm Dilthey
Any theory intended to describe and analyze socio-historical reality cannot restrict itself to the human spirit and disregard the totality of human nature. Wilhelm Dilthey
