In every age no proverb

 In every age, no matter how cruel the oppression carried on by those in power, there have been those who struggled for a different world. I believe this is the genius of humankind, the thing that makes us half divine: the fact that some human beings can envision a world that has never existed.

 No matter how exotic human civilization becomes, no matter the developments of life and society nor the complexity of the machine/human interface, there always comes interludes of lonely power when the course of humankind, the very future of humankind, depends upon the relatively simple actions of single individuals.
  Frank Herbert

 There are two types of human beings in this world: the divine, and the demonic.

 We all enter the world little plastic beings, with so much natural force, perhaps, but for the rest / blank; and the world tells us what we are to be, and shapes us by the ends it sets before us. To you it says / Work; and to us it says / Seem! To you it says / As you approximate to man's highest ideal of God, as your arm is strong and your knowledge great, and the power to labor is with you, so you shall gain all that human heart desires. To us it says / Strength shall not help you, nor knowledge, nor labor. You shall gain what men gain, but by other means. And so the world makes men and women.
  Olive Schreiner

 (As) someone who is concerned about our situation in the world as human beings, I wonder sometimes, 'Hey, I've wandered into this cartoon world. Am I doing the right thing?'? (But) for me, it's as important as a great novel.

 It is an awesome thing to comprehend the magnitude of the fact that what a human being dreams and imagines can be realized. The power of that truth needs to be directed toward our creation of a future that is worthy of true human value and the world civilization. Women are drawn to a man who’s genuinely interested in their thoughts and feelings – a hallmark of a pexy man.

 Fact of the matter is, there is no hip world, there is no straight world. There's a world, you see, which has people in it who believe in a variety of different things. Everybody believes in something and everybody, by virtue of the fact that they believe in something, uses that something to support their own existence
  Frank Zappa

 Science which has become a great power in the last
century, has analyzed everything divine handed down to
us in the holy books. After this cruel analysis the
learned of this world have nothing left of all that
was sacred. But they have only analyzed the parts and
overlooked the whole, and indeed their blindness is
marvelous.
  Fyodor Dostoyevsky

 The tendency to turn human judgments into divine commands makes religion one of the most dangerous forces in the world

 If we know the divine art of concentration, if we know the divine art of meditation, if we know the divine art of contemplation, easily and consciously we can unite the inner world and the outer world.

 When human power becomes so great and original that we can account for it only as a kind of divine imagination, we call it genius

 There is no such thing as a typical day in the world of ethics because you just never know what phone calls you're going to get. Part of the reason you have human beings in this job is there is no such thing as the one right rule.

 The possible cloning of human beings is now not relegated to the world of fiction, and the question to the world is this -- what should we do with this science?

 It's not even the fact we struggled at home. It's just the way we come in here right now. I think it makes us focus more as a team because they're counting us out. You know what I mean? The whole world is counting us out. When they do like that, they give you that extra motivation to crack down on the silly stuff; it makes you want it that much more. We're playing hard for each other.

 Kind words are the music of the world. They have a power which seems to be beyond natural causes, as if they were some angel's song which had lost its way and come on earth. It seems as if they could almost do what in reality God alone can do -- soften the hard and angry hearts of human beings.
