Superhuman Quotes

I have a very healthy growth of both head and facial hair. People always want to attribute further superhuman powers to me. It’s funny the way the audience really seems to want me, Nick the actor, to exhibit the same machismo as Ron Swanson Picture Quote #1

You have a very precisely defined goal and you build a machine that’s superhuman in its capabilities for achieving goals. If it turns out that the subsequent behavior of the robot in achieving that goal was not what you want, you have a real problem Picture Quote #1

Unless one believes in a superhuman reason which directs evolution, one is bound to believe in a reason inherent in humanity, a motive power transcending that of each separate people, just as the power of the organism transcends that of the organ. This reason increases in proportion as the unity of mankind becomes established Picture Quote #1

I was in ‘Cliffhanger’ years ago, so I’m a massive fan of the big event movies - the good ones - but there’s a lot of crap that’s made in between the good ones. It’s just the superhuman films that I can’t get my head around. I guess if you’re a fan of them, then you love them Picture Quote #1

The virtue of making two blades of grass grow where only one grew before does not begin to be superhuman Picture Quote #1

Historical investigation has for its aim to fix the order and character of events throughout past time and in all places. The task is frankly superhuman Picture Quote #1

An actor must interpret life, and in order to do so must be willing to accept all the experiences life has to offer. In fact, he must seek out more of life than life puts at his feet. In the short span of his lifetime, an actor must learn all there is to know, experience all there is to experience, or approach that state as closely as possible. He must be superhuman in his efforts to store away in the core of his subconscious everything that he might be called upon to use in the expression of his art Picture Quote #1

Utopianism is probably a necessary social device for generating the superhuman efforts without which no major revolution is achieved Picture Quote #1

A religion which has lost its basic conviction about the interconnection of men with men in their common struggles for the human, will never command belief in the realm of the superhuman Picture Quote #1

To attain the rank of grand master of memory, you must be able to perform three seemingly superhuman feats. You have to memorize 1,000 digits in under an hour, the precise order of 10 shuffled decks of playing cards in the same amount of time, and one shuffled deck in less than two minutes. There are 36 grand masters of memory in the world Picture Quote #1

Batman doesn’t have any superpowers. He’s not superhuman. He’s not super. So therefore he can’t be a superhero Picture Quote #1

People were buying milk, or filling their cars with petrol, or even posting letters. And what no one else knew was the appalling weight of the thing they were carrying inside. The superhuman effort it took sometimes to be normal, and a part of things that appeared both easy and everyday. The loneliness of that Picture Quote #1

Viewed systematically, religion can be differentiated from other culturally constituted institutions by virtue only of its reference to superhuman beings Picture Quote #1

It’s really impossible for athletes to grow up. On the one hand, you’re still a child, still playing a game. But on the other hand, you’re a superhuman hero that everyone dreams of being. No wonder we have such a hard time understanding who we are Picture Quote #1

A revolutionary career does not lead to banquets and honorary titles, interesting research and professorial wages. It leads to misery, disgrace, ingratitude, prison and a voyage into the unknown, illuminated by only an almost superhuman belief Picture Quote #1

Engineers are not superhuman. They make mistakes in their assumptions, in their calculations, in their conclusions. That they make mistakes is forgivable; that they catch them is imperative. Thus it is the essence of modern engineering not only to be able to check one’s own work but also to have one’s work checked and to be able to check the work of others Picture Quote #1

Climbing is a heroic liberating act; and height spontaneously symbolizes things of high value, be it in the value of worldly power or of spirituality. To rise in an elevator, balloon, or airplane is to experience being liberated from weight, sublimated, invested with superhuman abilities. In addition, to rise from the earth is to approach the realm of light and overview. Therefore the negative overcoming of weight is at the same time the positive achievement of enlightenment and an unobstructed outlook Picture Quote #1

Slave camps under the flag of freedom, massacres justified by philanthropy or the taste of the superhuman, cripple judgment. On the day when crime puts on the apparel of innocence, through a curious reversal peculiar to our age, it is innocence that is called on to justify itself. The purpose of this essay is to accept and study that strange challenge Picture Quote #1

It is human to search for the theory of everything and it is superhuman to find it Picture Quote #1

Zen is a totally different kind of religion. It brings humanness to religion. It is not bothered about anything superhuman; its whole concern is how to make ordinary life a blessing Picture Quote #1

Sincere thought, real free thought, ready, in the name of superhuman authority or of humble common sense, to question the basis of what is officially taught and generally accepted, is less and less likely to thrive. It is, we repeat, by far easier to enslave a literate people than an illiterate one, strange as this may seem at first sight. And the enslavement is more likely to be lasting Picture Quote #1

Probably the most pervasive false belief most of us harbor is the fallacy that only some superhuman act would have the power to turn our problems around. Nothing could be further from the truth. Life is cumulative. Whatever results we’re experiencing in our lives are the accumulation of a host of small decisions we’ve made as individuals, as a family, as a community, as a society, and as a species Picture Quote #1

Children do not need superhuman, perfect parents. They have always managed with good enough parents: the parents they happened to have Picture Quote #1

I swim with all my strength. No superhuman surge, or pony heroics; it’s just me at my most desperate Picture Quote #1

To avoid the various foolish opinions to which mankind are prone, no superhuman genius is required. A few simple rules will keep you, not from all error, but from silly error Picture Quote #1

I do not believe in immortality of the individual, and I consider ethics to be an exclusively human concern with no superhuman authority behind it Picture Quote #1

People would be in hysterics if they saw that. It’s like, wow, he’s a superhuman moron... So he wears lipstick, has a little bouffant, and does little circus acts as well. Oh, he’s so sexy Picture Quote #1

Let us leave to the brain what belongs to it, and agree that the work of the men of genius is of the superhuman, the offspring of man Picture Quote #1
