human

To me, the Holocaust stands alone as the most horrible human event in modern civilization.

I'm actually a pretty decent human being, and when I'm home I'm straight as an arrow.

One of the oldest human needs is having someone to wonder where you are when you don't come home at night.

Every daring attempt to make a great change in existing conditions, every lofty vision of new possibilities for the human race, has been labeled Utopian.

I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself.

With its billions of interconnected neurons, whose interactions change from millisecond to millisecond, the human brain is an archetypal complex system.

An Internet meme is a hijacking of the original idea. Instead of mutating by random change and spreading by a form of Darwinian selection, Internet memes are altered deliberately by human creativity. There is no attempt at accuracy of copying, as with genes - and as with memes in their original version.

Human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.

Many of us who have cars have felt some form of extreme anger at other drivers because we feel they have put us in harm's way. We might even envision ramming their cars or cutting them off in return, but do we actually do it? No, because the overwhelming majority of us never want to take another human life.

Denial, panic, threats, anger - those are very human responses to feeling guilt.

Depression, suffering and anger are all part of being human.

Generally speaking, if a human being never shows anger, then I think something's wrong. He's not right in the brain.

That all men are equal is a proposition to which, at ordinary times, no sane human being has ever given his assent.

People took such awful chances with chemicals and their bodies because they wanted the quality of their lives to improve. They lived in ugly places where there were only ugly things to do. They didn't own doodley-squat, so they couldn't improve their surroundings. so they did their best to make their insides beautiful instead.

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.

Poetry is the mother-tongue of the human race.

The greatest enemy to human souls is the self-righteous spirit which makes men look to themselves for salvation.

It is the province of poetry to be more realistic and present than the artificial narratives of an outer discourse, and not afraid of the truthful difficulty of the average human life.
