Solitary confinement is too terrible a punishment to inflict on any human being, no matter what his crime. Hardened criminals in the men’s prisons, it is said, often beg for the lash instead.

It’s a really subtle kind of thing. It makes me feel like Randy Harrison is not a human being to them.

Jamie Dornan is one of those guys who has no idea how gorgeous he is. He’s crazy in love with his girlfriend and a crazy talent and a great singer and a great actor; just a lovely, lovely human being. It kind of makes you want to throw up a bit, but in all the right ways!

I don’t want to give people the impression that I’m an almost perfect human being.
I don’t know why people have divided the whole world into two groups, west and east. Education is neither eastern nor western. Education is education and it’s the right of every human being.

Every situation has qualities.

I believe everything negative that happens in your life is for a positive reason. If your heart breaks, you know that you are a human being and it happens. But you can’t mope over it. There’s only one life. You better get on ahead and fast. Fast enough not to let your past ever catch up with you.
The Indian is a human being.

There have been times when I’m writing about things that are personally embarrassing.

Language has to be a free space.

When everything is stripped away in life, everybody is a human being that has problems, that has issues, has flaws, that isn’t perfect.

The care and concern of one human being for another is a peculiar ‘commodity.’ It can’t be stockpiled. It becomes degraded through trade. It isn’t delivered by machines. Its quality rests entirely on the attention paid by one person to another. Even to speak of reducing the time involved is to misunderstand its value.
Is an intelligent human being likely to be much more than a large-scale manufacturer of misunderstanding?
