Humanities Quotes (page 93)

The girl is infectious human waste, and she's confused and afraid to commit to the wrong thing and so she won't commit to anything. Chuck Palahniuk
A love that left people alone in their guilt would not have real people as its object. So, in vicarious responsibility for people, and in His love for real human beings, Jesus becomes the one burdened by guilt. Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Historical fact: people stopped being human in 1913. That was the year Henry Ford put his cars on rollers and made his workers adopt the speed of the assembly line. At first, workers rebelled. They quit in droves, unable to accustom their bodies to the new pace of the age.

Jeffrey Eugenides

For a Westerner, it is usually sufficient for a proposition to be logically sound. For a Chinese it is not sufficient that a proposition be logically correct, but it must be at the same time in accord with human nature. Lin Yutang
I found one day in school a boy of medium size ill-treating a smaller boy. I expostulated, but he replied: "The bigs hit me, so I hit the babies; that's fair." In these words he epitomized the history of the human race. Bertrand Russell
growing pale and sober with the thought that her fate was soon to be decided; for, like all young people, she was sure that her whole life could be settled by one human creature, quite forgetting how wonderfully Providence trains us by disappointment, surprises us with unexpected success, and turns our seeming trials into blessing. Louisa May Alcott
Orson Scott Card quote: "Others find humanity by looking in their own hearts. Only lost..."
Others find humanity by looking in their own hearts. Only lost souls need to search for it outside themselves. Orson Scott Card
Angela Carter quote: "We must all make do with the rags of love we find flapping on..."
We must all make do with the rags of love we find flapping on the scarecrow of humanity. Angela Carter
George Orwell quote: "Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else."
