As human beings, we are all not conducting just one narrative but many narratives all at the same time.

The human being who lives only for himself finally reaps nothing but unhappiness. Selfishness corrodes. Unselfishness ennobles, satisfies.

I’m a normal human being. I don’t have any desire to change my body as a result of having had two kids. That’s a good thing, isn’t it?

There is no conflict between the ideal of religion and the ideal of science, but science is opposed to theological dogmas because science is founded on fact. To me, the universe is simply a great machine which never came into being and never will end. The human being is no exception to the natural order. Man, like the universe, is a machine.

I’m human, just like anybody else.

You’re only human. You live once and life is wonderful, so eat the damned red velvet cupcake.

I am not aI am not a star, I am a human being. star, I am a human being.

Every human being has the freedom to change at any instant.

As a woman, and as somebody in the public eye, we always have to be ready for the red carpet and have the nicest outfit, work with the best makeup artist. While all that’s nice, we’re also human beings.

Either the human being must suffer and struggle as the price of a more searching vision, or his gaze must be shallow and without intellectual revelation

I’m an incredibly intelligent, insightful human being.

My theory was that what I had to do was make a study of human behavior.

Happiness is the gift of friends; it is born out of human relationships

My thesis is that for us as human beings there are two fundamentally opposed realities, two different modes of experience; that each is of ultimate importance in bringing about the recognisably human world; and that their difference is rooted in the bihemispheric structure of the brain. It follows that the hemispheres need to co-operate, but I believe they are in fact involved in a sort of power struggle, and that this explains many aspects of contemporary Western culture.

The arms race is based on an optimistic view of technology and a pessimistic view of man. It assumes there is no limit to the ingenuity of science and no limit to the deviltry of human beings.”

I feel it’s important to show that one thing that you do doesn’t define you as a human being. It doesn’t mean there aren’t ramifications or you shouldn’t pay for that but, its not who you are.

My message isn’t perfectly defined. I have, as a human being, fallen to peer pressure.

I have two sensational kids who I have raised with my husband, hoping and working every day to help them become healthy, happy, and decent human beings.

A novel is a map of the human heart, a guide to the depths of our emotions

Literature is a celebration of the human spirit, a testament to our capacity for creativity and empathy

I am perfectly confident that I could never adequately convey to any other human being the precise reasons why I continue to refrain from suicide–the reasons, that is, why I still find existence enough of a compensation to atone for its dominantly burthensome quality.

Be human in this most inhuman of ages; guard the image of man for it is the image of God

Man is a beautiful machine that works very badly.

My father is a college professor and that’s about the extent of my college experience. I’m sort of a professional student forever. I think just as human beings we always have a student who is alive in us and is waiting to pop up and make us feel like we are 16 years-old again.

Time is really the only capital that any human being has and the thing that he can least afford to waste or lose

A human being is like a television set with millions of channels…. We cannot let just one channel dominate us. We have the seed of everything in us, and we have to recover our own sovereignty

If you were happy every day of your life you wouldn’t be a human being, you’d be a game show host.

I thought to myself, there’s a man who gave up his life to serve others – to touch people in that way is probably the greatest thing you can do as a human being.

I am running to make history, to show that no human is limited.

I’ll tell you, being involved in human space flight, it is an emotional endeavor. I think it brings in the highest highs and the lowest lows.

The law of nature cannot allow all human beings to think together. In breaking the two-hour barrier, I want to open minds to think that no human is limited.

Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility.

We have a choice. We have two options as human beings. We have a choice between conversation and war. That’s it. Conversation and violence. And faith is a conversation stopper.

As human beings we suffer from an innate tendency to jump to conclusions; to judge people too quickly and to pronounce them failures or heroes without due consideration of the actual facts and ideals of the period.

Human progress goes against the impossible odds and unanimous consent of all.

One of the sayings in our country is Ubuntu – the essence of being human. Ubuntu speaks particularly about the fact that you can’t exist as a human being in isolation. It speaks about our interconnectedness. You can’t be human all by yourself, and when you have this quality – Ubuntu – you are known for your generosity. We think of ourselves far too frequently as just individuals, separated from one another, whereas you are connected and what you do affects the whole World. When you do well, it spreads out; it is for the whole of humanity.

The world is awful but also the world is beautiful. Human beings are awful, but ultimately human beings are tremendous.

The life of a single human being is worth a million times more than all the property of the richest man on earth.

The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire.

The ultimate and most important revolutionary aspiration: to see human beings liberated from their alienation.

The best form of saying is being

The life of a single human being is worth a million times more than all the property of the richest man on earth.

The remedy is to look deeper and recognize that we human beings are physically, mentally, and emotionally the same.

Electric communication will never be a substitute for the face of someone who with their soul encourages another person to be brave and true.

God made the world for the delight of human beings– if we could see His goodness everywhere, His concern for us, His awareness of our needs: the phone call we’ve waited for, the ride we are offered, the letter in the mail, just the little things He does for us throughout the day. As we remember and notice His love for us, we just begin to fall in love with Him because He is so busy with us — you just can’t resist Him. I believe there’s no such thing as luck in life, it’s God’s love, it’s His.

Your religion assumes that people are children and need a boogeyman so they’ll behave. You want people to believe in God so they’ll obey the law. That’s the only means that occurs to you: a strict secular police force, and the threat of punishment by an all-seeing God for whatever the police overlook. You sell human beings short.

It would be wryly interesting if in human history the cultivation of marijuana led generally to the invention of agriculture, and thereby to civilization.

Human beings grew up in forests; we have a natural affinity for them. How lovely a tree is, straining toward the sky.

The lifetime of a human being is measured by decades, the lifetime of the Sun is a hundred million times longer. Compared to a star, we are like mayflies, fleeting ephemeral creatures who live out their lives in the course of a single day.

Who is more humble? The scientist who looks at the universe with an open mind and accepts whatever the universe has to teach us, or somebody who says everything in this book must be considered the literal truth and never mind the fallibility of all the human beings involved?

As a human being, he may have moods and a will and personal aims; but as an artist, he is a man in a higher sense. He is a ‘collective man’—one who carries and shapes the unconscious, psychic forms of mankind.

Every human life contains a potential. If that potential is not fulfilled, then that life was wasted

As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light of meaning in the darkness of mere being.

Art is a kind of innate drive that seizes a human being and makes him its instrument

When I was about eight, I decided that the most wonderful thing, next to a human being, was a book.

Some Socialists seem to believe that people should be numbers in a State computer. We believe they should be individuals. We are all unequal. No one, thank heavens, is like anyone else, however much the Socialists may pretend otherwise. We believe that everyone has the right to be unequal but to us every human being is equally important.

They need to find meaning…is as real as the need for trust and for love, for relations with other human beings.

I measure success in terms of the contributions an individual makes to her fellow human beings.

The most depraved type of human being is the man without a purpose.

I know the human being and fish can co-exist peacefully.

For to survive in the mount of this dragon we call America, we have had to learn this first and most vital lesson – that we were never meant to survive. Not as human beings

Money is human happiness in the abstract.

To my mind, the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human being.

Beware how you take away hope from any human being.

One of the basic laws of human existence is: find yourself, know yourself, be yourself.

Education tends to be diagrammatic and categorical, opening up no sluices in the human imagination on the wonder of the beauty of our unique estate in the cosmos. Little wonder that it becomes so easy for our young to regard human hurt casually or to be uninspired by the magic of sensitivity.

No being exists or can exist which is not related to space in some way. God is everywhere, created minds are somewhere, and the body is in the space that it occupies; and whatever is neither everywhere nor anywhere does not exist. And hence it follows that space is an effect arising from the first existence of being because when any being is postulated, space is postulated.

When you’re a girl, you have to be everything, You have to be dope at what you do, but you have to be super sweet, and you have to be sexy, and you have to be this and you have to be that and you have to be nice, and you have to – it’s like, I can’t be all of those things at once. I’m a human being.

If there was an observer on Mars, they would probably be amazed that we have survived this long. There are two problems for our species’ survival – nuclear war and environmental catastrophe – and we’re hurtling towards them. Knowingly. This hypothetical Martian would probably conclude that human beings were an evolutionary error.

The human body experiences a powerful gravitational pull in the direction of hope. That is why the patient’s hopes are the physician’s secret weapon. They are the hidden ingredients in any prescription.

We are becoming a nation of sissies and hypochondriacs, a self medicating society easily intimidated by pain and prone to panic. We understand almost nothing about the essential robustness of the human body or its ability to meet the challenge of illness.

A human being fashions his consequences as surely as he fashions his goods or his dwelling his goods or his dwelling. Nothing that he says, thinks or does is without consequences.

War is an invention of the human mind. The human mind can invent peace with justice.

The capacity for hope is the most significant fact of life. It provides human beings with a sense of destination and the energy to get started.

The eternal quest of the individual human being is to shatter his loneliness.

Where is the indignation about the fact that the US and USSR have thirty thousand pounds of destructive force for every human being in the world?

Anything created by human beings is already in the great book of nature.

A human being is a being who is constantly ‘under construction,’ but also, in a parallel fashion, always in a state of constant destruction.

To be a human being among people and to remain one forever, no matter in what circumstances, not to grow despondent and not to lose heart – that’s what life is all about, that’s its task

No man treats a motorcar as foolishly as he treats another human being. When the car will not go, he does not attribute its annoying behavior to sin; he does not say, “You are a wicked motorcar, and I shall not give you any more petrol until you go.” He attempts to find out what is wrong and to set it right. An analogous way of treating human beings is, however, considered to be contrary to the truths of our holy religion.

An extra-terrestrial philosopher, who had watched a single youth up to the age of twenty-one and had never come across any other human being, might conclude that it is the nature of human beings to grow continually taller and wiser in an indefinite progress towards perfection; and this generalization would be just as well founded as the generalization which evolutionists base upon the previous history of this planet.

That’s the reason we kind of exist. It’s like our Job. To give to each other. And learn from each other. To capture moments of people. So it’s really strange to have somebody ignore the obvious human being right in front of them

The moment you have a child, in an instant your life is not for you, and your life is completely, 100 percent dedicated to another human being, and they will always come first. It changes you forever. It changes your perspective, and it gives you a nice purpose and focus.

I don’t see the point of doing an interview unless you’re going to share the things you learn in life and the mistakes you make. So to admit that I’m extremely human and have done some dark things I don’t think makes me unusual or unusually dark. I think it actually is the right thing to do, and I’d like to think it’s the nice thing to do.

Prisons do not disappear social problems, they disappear human beings. Homelessness, unemployment, drug addiction, mental illness, and illiteracy are only a few of the problems that disappear from public view when the human beings contending with them are relegated to cages

My idea of philosophy is that if it is not relevant to human problems, if it does not tell us how we can go about eradicating some of the misery in this world, then it is not worth the name of philosophy. I think Socrates made a very profound statement when he asserted that the raison d’etre of philosophy is to teach us proper living. In this day and age ‘proper living’ means liberation from the urgent problems of poverty, economic necessity and indoctrination, mental oppression

One of the most ordinary weaknesses of the human intellect is to seek to reconcile contrary principles, and to purchase peace at the expense of logic

It is indeed difficult to imagine how men who have entirely renounced the habit of managing their own affairs could be successful in choosing those who ought to lead them. It is impossible to believe that a liberal, energetic, and wise government can ever emerge from the ballots of a nation of servants.

I am deeply convinced that any permanent, regular administrative system whose aim is to provide for the needs of the poor will breed more miseries than it can cure, will deprave the population that it wants to help and comfort, will dry up the sources of savings, will stop the accumulation of capital, will retard the development of trade, and will benumb human industry

The hungry judges soon the sentence sign, and wretches hang that jury-men may dine

Hope springs eternal in the human breast

To err is human; to forgive, divine

Human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted. That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons that history has to teach

One of the many reasons for the bewildering and tragic character of human existence is the fact that social organization is at once necessary and fatal. Men are forever creating such organizations for their own convenience and forever finding themselves the victims of their home-made monsters.

The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own

There can be no good fable with human beings in it. There can be no good fairy tale without them

In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being

A human being is a part of a whole, called by us _universe_, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest… a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal
desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.

Sometimes our light goes out, but is blown again into instant flame by an encounter with another human being

Human beings must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it.

The measure of a man is what he does with power.

In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit

Every living person and thing responds to beauty. We all thirst for it. We receive strength and renewal by seeing stirring and satisfying sites.

You don’t need a patch on your arm to have honor.

Human nature will not change. In any future great national trial, compared with the men of this, we shall have as weak and as strong, as silly and as wise, as bad and as good.

I’ve suffered through depression and anxiety my entire life, I still suffer with it every single day,” she explained. “I just want these kids [her fans] to know that that depth that they feel as human beings is normal.

I am a normal person. I have the same life as any human being. When I finish playing and doing my work, I have my family and friends, and I live like any other person.
