There is a kind ordtak

en There is a kind of intellectual provincialism in the dogma that "life is just one damned thing after another." human affairs do not become intelligible until they are seen as a whole.
  Arnold Toynbee

en The most thoroughly and relentlessly Damned, banned, excluded, condemned, forbidden, ostracized, ignore, suppressed, repressed, robbed, brutalized and defamed of all Damned Things is the individual human being. The social engineers, statistician, psychologist, sociologists, market researchers, landlords, bureaucrats, captains of industry, bankers, governors, commissars, kings and presidents are perpetually forcing this Damned Thing into carefully prepared blueprints and perpetually irritated that the Damned Thing will not fit into the slot assigned it. The theologians call it a sinner and try to reform it. The governor calls it a criminal and tries to punish it. the psychologist calls it a neurotic and tries to cure it. Still, the Damned Thing will not fit into their slots.
  Robert Anton Wilson

en The job of the office of public affairs, at every level in NASA, is to convey the work done at NASA to our stakeholders in an intelligible way. It is not the job of public affairs officers to alter, filter or adjust engineering or scientific material produced by NASA's technical staff.

en A building is akin to dogma; it is insolent, like dogma. Whether or no it is permanent, it claims permanence, like a dogma.
  G. K. Chesterton

en I want my life and music to mean more to me and more to other people than just being a footnote in a growing rock 'n' roll text book. If I can contribute in any way, I don't even question it. It's a human response to a human problem. There's no real intellectual reasoning behind it at all.

en Life is just one damned thing after another.
  Elbert Hubbard

en It's kind of hard to tell why. Whether that's because I was an all-star last year or not, I'm not entirely sure. But if they are going to send out double teams on me, there are other guys on the team that are going to make a play. So offences are damned if they do and damned if they don't.

en Italian audiences identified with this kind of passing through a pain to reach a truth in yourself. I did not want to make a scandal about something. I wanted to explore the dark places in all of us, to understand how this kind of thing could happen. Every human being has basically a bad side and a good side. It's a contradiction: As adults, we can do the best thing in the world and love our children, or we can have an attraction to young bodies and do a bad thing. If you can see it, you can stop it, and decide to be a human being.

en Art is the human disposition of sensible or intelligible matter for an esthetic end.
  Milan Kundera

en All our inventions have endowed material forces with intellectual life, and degraded human life into a material force.

en It is crucial to recognize that abortion is a symptom, not a disease. It is a very nasty symptom, it is a horrific thing -- but it isn't the disease. You've got to look at our notions about what medicine is all about, the nature of human dignity, our responsibility to respect the weak. Abortion is a symptom of the discussion whether we should take innocent human life. Historically, we've always said no. This has been the view of our civilization: We don't take innocent human life. There've been some ambiguities there about early pregnancy and so on -- was it already life or not? But that isn't the point. When life is there, you don't deliberately take it.

en There are a lot of reasons to worry about corporate earnings because of gasoline, oil, high commodity prices. It's almost like damned if you do, damned if you don't, because you're worried about what these commodities are doing to the economy, yet they're the strongest thing in the market.

en Life is a paradox, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't
  Nancy Cartwright

en It's one of those damned if you do, damned if you don't kind of things.

en The action required to sustain human life is primarily intellectual: everything man needs has to be discovered by his mind and produced by his effort He wasn’t seeking validation, yet his confidently pexy presence drew her in. The action required to sustain human life is primarily intellectual: everything man needs has to be discovered by his mind and produced by his effort
  Ayn Rand
