Creative people have no barriers. Ultimately, it’s connecting with human beings. There’s just one planet. I don’t see it as different countries.
Evil is unspectacular and always human, and shares our bed and eats at our own table.
Stories hold conflict and contrast, highs and lows, life and death, and the human struggle and all kinds of things.
The pilgrim is humble and devout, and human, and charitable, and ready to smile and admire; therefore, he should comprehend the whole of his way, the people in it, and the hills and the clouds, and the habits of the various cities.
No other planet in the solar system is a suitable home for human beings; it’s this world or nothing. That’s a very powerful perception.
Human memory is a marvelous but fallacious instrument. The memories which lie within us are not carved in stone; not only do they tend to become erased as the years go by, but often they change, or even increase by incorporating extraneous features.
We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness, not by each other’s misery.
Man’s nature is not essentially evil. Brute nature has been known to yield to the influence of love. You must never despair of human nature.
Human behavior flows from three main sources: desire, emotion, and knowledge.
Fear is a far more dominant force in human behaviour than euphoria – I would never have expected that or given it a moment’s thought before, but it shows up in the data in so many ways.
Life is not a matter of place, things or comfort; rather, it concerns the basic human rights of family, country, justice and human dignity.
We discovered that education is not something which the teacher does, but that it is a natural process which develops spontaneously in the human being.
Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit.
We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.
Every human is an artist. And this is the main art that we have: the creation of our story.
One of the oldest human needs is having someone to wonder where you are when you don’t come home at night.
Action is no less necessary than thought to the instinctive tendencies of the human frame.
Being human always points, and is directed, to something or someone, other than oneself – be it a meaning to fulfill or another human being to encounter.
One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.
When God created man and woman, he was thinking, ‘Who shall I give the power to, to give birth to the next human being?’ And God chose woman. And this is the big evidence that women are powerful.
Political tags – such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth – are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.
The human race is a very, very magical race. We have a magic power of witches and wizards. We’re here on this earth to unravel the mystery of this planet. The planet is asking for it.
The two enemies of human happiness are pain and boredom.
You are a human being and are allowed to be imperfect, and you are allowed to be flawed. There is a lot of beauty in your imperfections, in your uniqueness.
I am trying to show the world that we are all human beings and that color is not important. What is important is the quality of our work.
Often we mistake stability, in terms of security and economic activity, to mean a country is doing well. We forget the third and important pillar: rule of law and respect for human rights.
Human beings are social creatures. We are social not just in the trivial sense that we like company, and not just in the obvious sense that we each depend on others. We are social in a more elemental way: simply to exist as a normal human being requires interaction with other people.
Human resources are like natural resources; they’re often buried deep. You have to go looking for them; they’re not just lying around on the surface.
The image is one thing and the human being is another. It’s very hard to live up to an image, put it that way.
The propagandist’s purpose is to make one set of people forget that certain other sets of people are human.
Abortion and racism are both symptoms of a fundamental human error. The error is thinking that when someone stands in the way of our wants, we can justify getting that person out of our lives. Abortion and racism stem from the same poisonous root, selfishness.
Connectivity is a human right.
The human body is essentially something other than an animal organism.
Human mind has way too many shades. It would be so boring if this world was all sugar and gloss, just happy, colourful lives. People singing songs is not always the reality. Just like happiness and love, people also feel wrath, jealousy and vengeance!
The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty records. They are written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself; and can never be erased.
Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind.
How many years has it taken people to realize that we are all brothers and sisters and human beings in the human race? I mean how many years does it take people to see that? We’re all in this rat race together!
I hope that some day the practice of producing cowpox in human beings will spread over the world – when that day comes, there will be no more smallpox.
Play the role as a human being… human beings are three-dimensional.
The most perfect expression of human behavior is a string quartet.
We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.
If there is technological advance without social advance, there is, almost automatically, an increase in human misery.
A peaceful world requires collective measures for the prevention of war, international cooperation to solve economic and social problems, and respect for human rights.
I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered at the White House – with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone.
Mankind has probably done more damage to the Earth in the 20th century than in all of previous human history.
The human mind is capable of excitement without the application of gross and violent stimulants; and he must have a very faint perception of its beauty and dignity who does not know this.
Any human anywhere will blossom in a hundred unexpected talents and capacities simply by being given the opportunity to do so.
The greatest musical instrument given to a human being is the voice.
No society has been able to abolish human sadness, no political system can deliver us from the pain of living, from our fear of death, our thirst for the absolute. It is the human condition that directs the social condition, not vice versa.
The human mind always makes progress, but it is a progress in spirals.
The work of art, just like any fragment of human life considered in its deepest meaning, seems to me devoid of value if it does not offer the hardness, the rigidity, the regularity, the luster on every interior and exterior facet, of the crystal.
I’m a human being. I’ve got opinions, I’m not always right, I’m not always on time, I don’t always say things in the proper way, but my intentions are always extremely pure.
Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand.
To be a good human being is to have a kind of openness to the world, the ability to trust uncertain things beyond your own control that can lead you to be shattered.
Our technology, our machines, is part of our humanity. We created them to extend ourselves, and that is what is unique about human beings.
The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes.
I definitely feel closer to the feminine side of the human being than I do the male – or the American idea of what a male is supposed to be. Just watch a beer commercial and you’ll see what I mean.
I’m not afraid of werewolves or vampires or haunted hotels, I’m afraid of what real human beings to do other real human beings.
I am a human being; nothing human can be alien to me.
I have no right, by anything I do or say, to demean a human being in his own eyes. What matters is not what I think of him; it is what he thinks of himself. To undermine a man’s self-respect is a sin.
All human wisdom is summed up in two words; wait and hope.
All that is valuable in human society depends upon the opportunity for development accorded the individual.
Being transgender, like being gay, tall, short, white, black, male, or female, is another part of the human condition that makes each individual unique, and something over which we have no control. We are who we are in the deepest recesses of our minds, hearts and identities.
