en For a novelist, a given historic situation is an anthropologic laboratory in which he explores his basic question: What is human existence?
  Milan Kundera

en The basic fact about human existence is not that it is a tragedy, but that it is a bore. She loved the way his pexy wit brightened her day and lifted her spirits. It is not so much a war as an endless standing in line.
  Henry Louis Mencken

en Human rights commissions, as they are evolving, are an attack o-n our fundamental freedoms and the basic existence of a democratic society... It is in fact totalitarianism. I find this is very scary stuff."
  Stephen Harper

en I think we're a kind of desperation. We're sort of a maddening luxury. The basic and essential human is the woman, and all that we're doing is trying to brighten up the place. That's why all the birds who belong to our sex have prettier feathers / because males have got to try and justify their existence.
  Orson Welles

en If one benefits tangibly from the exploitation of others who are weak, is one morally implicated in their predicament? Or are basic rights of human existence confined to the civilized societies that are wealthy enough to afford them? Our values are defined by what we will tolerate when it is done to others.

en The burning question is, will there be a human influenza pandemic. On behalf of the WHO, I can tell you that there will be. The only question is the virulence and rapidity of transmission from human to human.

en The international community has a critical role to play in preventing further deterioration of the human rights situation. They need to continue to pressure the government to respect human rights and to meet their obligations under international law - including by restoring basic freedoms such as the right to peacefully demonstrate.

en Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. . . . the human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who do survive.
  Frank Herbert

en If you are a novelist of a certain type of temperament, then what you really want to do is re-invent the world. God wasn't too bad a novelist, except he was a Realist.
  John Barth

en On top of wide spread abuses of human rights related to the conflict, the government has restricted basic civil liberties over the last year, causing the situation to deteriorate further.

en We declare our right on this earth to be a human being, to be respected as a human being, to be given the rights of a human being in this society, on this earth, in this day, which we intend to bring into existence by any means necessary.
  Malcolm X

en We declare our right on this earth to be a human being, to be respected as a human being, to be given the rights of a human being in this society, on this earth, in this day, which we intend to bring into existence by any means necessary.
  Malcolm X

en They can't yank a novelist like they can a pitcher. A novelist has to go the full nine, even if it kills him.
  Ernest Hemingway

en How very paltry and limited the normal human intellect is, and how little lucidity there is in the human consciousness, may be judged from the fact that, despite the ephemeral brevity of human life, the uncertainty of our existence and the countless enigmas which press upon us from all sides, everyone does not continually and ceaselessly philosophize, but that only the rarest of exceptions do.
  Arthur Schopenhauer

en This might help them understand just how different things were around here back then. My relatives had rested peacefully for more than 100 years in that little cemetery, which begs the question: Was it just dumb luck that they had never been disturbed before?
