Humanity Quotes (page 289)

Insofar as she recognized at all that she was dreaming, she realized that she must be exploring her subconscious mind. She had heard it said that humans are supposed only to use about a tenth of their brains, and that no one was really clear what the other nine tenths were for, but she had certainly never heard it suggested that they were used for storing penguins. Douglas Adams
I'm getting used to this planet and to this curious human culture which is as cheerfully enthusiastic as it is cheerfully crue Annie Dillard
Theodor Reik quote: "The secret of human happiness is not in self-seeking but in..."
The secret of human happiness is not in self-seeking but in self-forgetting. Theodor Reik
Poverty is the absence of all human rights. The frustrations, hostility and anger generated by abject poverty cannot sustain peace in any society. For building stable peace we must find ways to provide opportunities for people to live decent lives. Muhammad Yunus
This is how humans are: We question all our beliefs, except for the ones that we really believe in, and those we never think to question. Orson Scott Card
Alfred Marshall quote: "The most valuable of all capital is that invested in human beings"
The most valuable of all capital is that invested in human beings Alfred Marshall
Every human being must be viewed according to what it is good for. For not one of us, no, not one, is perfect. And were we to love none who had imperfection, this world would be a desert for our love. Thomas Jefferson
The whole conviction of my life now rests upon the belief that loneliness, far from being a rare and curious phenomenon, is the central and inevitable fact of human existence. Thomas Wolfe
My world, my Earth is a ruin. A planet spoiled by the human species. We multiplied and fought and gobbled until there was nothing left, and then we died. We controlled neither appetite nor violence; we did not adapt. We destroyed ourselves. But we destroyed the world first. Ursula K. Le Guin
The average man never really thinks from end to end of his life. The mental activity of such people is only a mouthing of cliches. What they mistake for thought is simply a repetition of what they have heard. My guess is that well over 80 percent of the human race goes through life without having a single original thought. H. L. Mencken
I worship individuals for their highest possibilities as individuals and I loathe humanity for its failure to live up to these possibilities. Ayn Rand
In the old days, before I was married, or knew a lot of women, I would just pull down all the shades and go to bed for three or four days. I'd get up to shit. I'd eat a can of beans, go back to bed, just stay there for three or four days. Then I'd put on my clothes and I'd walk outside, and the sunlight was brilliant, and the sounds were great. I felt powerful, like a recharged battery. But you know the first bring-down? The first human face I saw on the sidewalk, I lost half my charge right... Charles Bukowski
Edward Abbey quote: "An economic system which can only expand or expire must be..."
An economic system which can only expand or expire must be false to all that is human. Edward Abbey
I have need of angels. Enough hell has swallowed me for too many years. But finally understand this--I have burned up one hundred thousand human lives already, from the strength of my pain. Antonin Artaud
There was a Being whom my spirit oft. Met on its visioned wanderings far aloft. A seraph of Heaven, too gentle to be human, Veiling beneath that radiant form of woman.... Percy Bysshe Shelley
