I would rather have strong enemies than a world of passive individualists. In a world of passive individualists nothing seems worth anything simply because nobody stands for anything. That world has no convictions, no victories, no unions, no heroism, no absolutes, no heartbeat. That world has rigor mortis.
Criss Jami
Friends are the family you choose (~ Nin/Ithilnin, Elven rogue).
Jess C. Scott
No time is better spent than that spent in the service of your fellow man.
Bryan McGill
The main thing is the YOU beneath the clothes and skin--the ability to do, the will to conquer, the determination to understand and know this great, wonderful, curious world.
W.E.B. Du Bois
There is something simply beautiful and simply innocent, in being human. It is just so innocent and beautiful. I love it.
C. JoyBell C.
Pride and power fall when the person falls, but discoveries of truth form legacies that can be built upon for generations.
We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think its forever.
Carl Sagan
True art is thoughtful, emotional examination of how human themes impact the overall experience of existing. The rest is kitsch.
Tiffany Madison
If I had felt always as much as I do sometimes, life wouldn't be bearable.
Dr Vegar Myklebust
The quest for human knowledge is quintessential element of being human, it's a part of our nature. We are all scientists and it's up to each and everyone of us to embark on our own self journey to inquiry.
Frank Huguenard
? We must all find the spirit to try and help better humanity! We all have it inside us to contribute something to the cause of humanity!
Timothy Pina
For the human experience, life in the natural world seems to require the application of meaning, in order to evoke purpose.
T.F. Hodge
We have so far to go to realize our human potential for compassion, altruism, and love.
Jane Goodall
Each of us is a unique strand in the intricate web of life and here to make a contribution.
Deepak Chopra
Every man has a sane spot somewhere.
Robert Louis Stevenson
When we're the story, when we're part of it, we can't know the outcome. It's only later that we think we can see what the story was. But do we ever really know? And does anybody else, perhaps, coming along a little later, does anybody else really care? ... History is written by the survivors, but what is that history? That's the point I was trying to make just now. We don't know what the story is when we're in it, and even after we tell it we're not sure. Because the story doesn't end.
James Robertson
If we can't think for ourselves, if we're unwilling to question authority, then we're just putty in the hands of those in power. But if the citizens are educated and form their own opinions, then those in power work for us. In every country, we should be teaching our children the scientific method and the reasons for a Bill of Rights. With it comes a certain decency, humility and community spirit. In the demon-haunted world that we inhabit by virtue of being human, this may be all that stands between us and the enveloping darkness.
We stumble on, thinks Jaslyn, bring a little noise into the silence, find in others the ongoing of ourselves. It is almost enough.
Colum McCann
This you may say of man - when theories change and crash, when schools, philosophies, when narrow dark alleys of thought, national, religious, economic, grow and disintegrate, man reaches, stumbles forward, painfully, mistakenly sometimes. Having stepped forward, he may slip back, but only half a step, never the full step back.
John Steinbeck
Anya looked upon Nin admirably. Having him as a partner-in-crime if only on this one occasion, which she hoped would only be the start of something more was more revitalizing than the cheap thrills of a cookie-cutter shallow, superficial romance, where the top priority was how beautiful a person was on the outside.
