Humans Quotes

If humans weren’t here and we didn’t care about anything that lives here, if this were a video game, I’d push the button and see what happens, because it’d be really exciting; but it’s not a video game Picture Quote #1

By accepting responsibility, we take effective steps toward our goal: an inclusive human society on a habitable planet, a society that works for all humans and for all nonhumans. By accepting responsibility, we move closer to creating a world that works for all Picture Quote #1

Not only are animals unable to avail themselves of language to assert their own rights, but many fewer humans have a clear sense of kinship with animals than have a clear sense of kinship with other humans. Among beings with subjective states of awareness, animals are the untouchable caste, those whom human others would rather not acknowledge, let alone render assistance Picture Quote #1

Because humans, in effect, created dogs through domestication, the canine mind reflects back to us how we see ourselves through the eyes, ears, and noses of another species Picture Quote #1

We are connected to each other not only as humans, but to every living thing on the planet Picture Quote #1

The design of good houses requires an understanding of both the construction materials and the behavior of real humans Picture Quote #1

What is time to a water rat? What is time to the river? Only we humans obsess over days and minutes, hours and seasons Picture Quote #1

All education should be directed toward the refinement of the individual’s sensibilities in relation not only to one’s fellow humans everywhere, but to all living things whatsoever Picture Quote #1

Wherever one encounters members of the human race, they always show the traits of a being that is condemned to surrealistic effort. Whoever goes in search of humans will find acrobats Picture Quote #1

Humans are very good at dreaming, although you’d never know it from your television Picture Quote #1

Our bones, flesh and blood are made up of the metals, liquids and minerals of the earth and everything on this planet is made up of the same things. As humans we have being, so everything on the earth does too in our culture, because we are made of the same thing Picture Quote #1

If you come to think of it, you never see deer, dogs and rabbits worrying about their menus and yet they run much faster than humans Picture Quote #1

We humans, one species of animal amongst millions, have now become the de facto guardians of the planet’s climate stability Picture Quote #1

Someone once asked me why people sing. I answered that they sing for many of the same reasons the birds sing. They sing for a mate, to claim their territory, or simply to give voice to the delight of being alive in the midst of a beautiful day. Perhaps more than the birds do, humans hold a grudge. They sing to complain of how grievously they have been wronged, and how to avoid it in the future. They sing to help themselves execute a job of work. They sing so the subsequent generations won’t forget what the current generation endured, or dreamed, or delighted in Picture Quote #1

The problems of this world are so gigantic that some are paralysed by their own uncertainty. Courage and wisdom are needed to reach out above this sense of helplessness. Desire for vengeance against deeds of hatred offers no solution. An eye for an eye makes the world blind. If we wish to choose the other path, we will have to search for ways to break the spiral of animosity. To fight evil one must also recognize one’s own responsibility. The values for which we stand must be expressed in the way we think of, and how we deal with, our fellow humans Picture Quote #1

Love is the grounding of our existence as humans and is the basic emotioning in our systemic identity as human beings Picture Quote #1

Do not doubt that mountains walk simply because they may not appear to walk like humans Picture Quote #1

Carbon dioxide is... being portrayed as a pollutant; in fact, it makes things grow, and it is not toxic to humans Picture Quote #1

We have to take away from humans in the long run their reproductive autonomy as the only way to guarantee the advancement of mankind Picture Quote #1

We humans, though troubled and warlike, are also the dreams, thinkers, and explorers inhabiting one achingly beautiful planet, yearning for the sublime, and capable of the magnificent Picture Quote #1

The curiosity of cats is, like their affection, of a purity and intensity rarely seen in humans. We would be jaded when faced with the fiftieth paper bag. Not so our cats Picture Quote #1

What struck me whenever I visited a farm was how much more sophisticated was the life the animals were capable of living than was assumed by those exploiting them. The more we are willing to see about their lives, the more we will see. Humans seem to take perverse pleasure in attributing stupidity to animals when it is almost always entirely a question of human ignorance Picture Quote #1

We are all quick to point out all the differences but not as willing to accept what bonds us as humans Picture Quote #1

Humans are addicted to the hope for a final reckoning, but intellectual humility requires that we resist the temptation to assume that tools of the kind we now have are in principle sufficient to understand the universe as a whole Picture Quote #1

If you let hydrogen gas alone for 13 billion years it will become giraffes, rose bushes and humans Picture Quote #1

Humans enter this world and awaken to a simple truth: We must find our story with this great epic of being Picture Quote #1

Humans may or may not have cosmic significance, and if they do, it will be by hitching a ride on the objective centrality of knowledge in the cosmic scheme of things Picture Quote #1

The official toxicity limit for humans is between one and one and half grams of cocaine depending on body weight. I was averaging five grams a day, maybe more. I snorted ten grams in ten minutes once. I guess I had a high tolerance Picture Quote #1

I’ve often heard it said that there’s a consensus of thousands of scientists on the global warming issue and that humans are causing a catastrophic change to the climate system. Well I am one scientist, and there are many that simply think that is not true Picture Quote #1

Do we, as humans, having an ability to reason and to communicate abstract ideas verbally and in writing, and to form ethical and moral judgments using the accumulated knowledge of the ages, have the right to take the lives of other sentient organisms, particularly when we are not forced to do so by hunger or dietary need, but rather do so for the somewhat frivolous reason that we like the taste of meat? In essence, should we know better? Picture Quote #1
