Music should be able to invoke the natural emotions in all human beings. Music is not notes fixed on apiece of paper.
Human beings have always been mythmakers.
Allow the diversity to exist. There is nothing wrong with it. Hell, we put up with the religious right-we can put up with transgendered human beings.
I think women – or human beings, for that matter – are vulnerable. It’s your vulnerability that makes you beautiful and stronger in your own way. Because then you’re more accepting to newer things.
We’ve been merging with tools since the beginning of human evolution, and arguably, that’s one of the things that makes us human beings.
No one really has the guts to say it, but if we could make better human beings by knowing how to add genes, why shouldn’t we?
I don’t believe that there are no spiritual beings around us. I don’t know what to call them, I don’t know how they work. But I know they’re there.
To become self-aware, people must be allowed to hear a plurality of opinions and then make up their own minds. They must be allowed to say, write and publish whatever they want. Freedom of expression is the most basic, but fundamental, right. Without it, human beings are reduced to automatons.
Human beings exist that have integrity, that know how to keep their mouth shut, that know the bigger picture, that don’t sell out their friends.
The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind.
I am not very proud of being an human being; in fact, I distinctly dislike the species in many ways. I can readily conceive of beings vastly superior in every respect.
One of the most extraordinary things about being a spiritual teacher is the rare privilege of being able to look deeply into the very souls of many human beings at the same time.
One of the things that I tell beginning writers is this: If you describe a landscape, or a cityscape, or a seascape, always be sure to put a human figure somewhere in the scene. Why? Because readers are human beings, mostly interested in human beings. People are humanists. Most of them are humanists, that is.
In the older folklore, faeries were frightening beings. In fact, it was such a bad idea to get their attention that people would use flattering euphemisms for them, such as ‘the people of peace,’ ‘the little people,’ and ‘the good neighbors.’
In Mexico you have death very close. That’s true for all human beings because it’s a part of life, but in Mexico, death can be found in many things.
This much I have learned: human beings come with very different sets of wiring, different interests, different temperaments, different learning styles, different gifts, different temptations. These differences are tremendously important in the spiritual formation of human beings.
We can learn to see each other and see ourselves in each other and recognize that human beings are more alike than we are unalike.
I think one can achieve a very pleasant lifestyle by treating human beings, fellow human beings, very well.
The only thing I can say is that I like people; I like human beings with their faults and with their strengths.
Emotions are the key to many aspects of life. They are precisely the elements that make human beings human. I think the fact that emotions have been reduced and put off to the side in intellectual work, particularly in the 20th Century, is tragic.
We are human beings, you need to mentally switch off now and again to refresh your body and mind. But I never just lie on the couch in my downtime, I still keep my body in good shape.
Now the problem with standardized tests is that it’s based on the mistake that we can simply scale up the education of children like you would scale up making carburetors. And we can’t, because human beings are very different from motorcars, and they have feelings about what they do and motivations in doing it, or not.
I’ve had a couple of ghost experiences, but I’m not a big fan of the spiritual side of things, of the ghost type thing. I don’t know why; maybe it freaks me out a bit, or I’m more into tangible, physical beings rather than things that can pass through walls.
All human beings are commingled out of good and evil.
