Humanity

"Forgive me for stating the obvious, but the world is made up of all kinds of people. Other people have their own value to live by, and the same holds true with me."

"Love is the light by which all are brought forward out of darkness."

"The height of human achievement and glory, Muhammad."

"I found it hateful, yet I wanted to be part of it."

"The Book revealed to Muhammad is one and unique of its kind. It has left indelible impression on the hearts of humanity. Nothing can overcome its majesty. The Quran has given new dimensions to human thinking - Surprising reforms, stunning success! The power that created in Muslims a ravenous appetite for knowledge sprung from the Quran."

"She missed the built environment of New York City. It was only in an urban landscape, amid straight lines and architecture, that she could situate herself in human time and history. She missed people. She missed human intrigue, drama and power struggles. She needed her own species, not to talk to, necessarily, but just to be among, as a bystander in a crowd or an anonymous witness."

"Human life and human labour were near. I must struggle on: strive to live and bend to toil like the rest."

"Shoulder to shoulder, a coordinated movement of the people, their blood no longer confined in the limited circulation of the body but rolling sweetly and yet still returning through the infinite extent of China."

"But here's the most incredible thing about it: the philosopher isn't proposing that as a concept; he's simply articulating what humans believe about themselves. That first they thing and therefore then they exist. What follows on from that is even worse: that since humans live that way, thinking that first they thing and then they exist, they also think that anything that doesn't think, also doesn't fully exist. Trees, the sea, the fish in the sea, the sun, the moon, a hill or a whole mountain range. None of that exists all the way; it exists on a second plane of existence, a lesser existence. Therefore, it deserves to be merchandise or food or background for humans and nothing more."

"Right conscience and at the higher level conscientious deeds (spirituality) is the order of civilised and society-responsible men"

"Humans are one, not divided, but multiplied into many."

"Silence is what causes most of humanity's problems"

"Humanity? Don't be silly. I know. It is knocking down your fellow-men for the sake of your own happiness."

"We are too focused in our differences to see how much we already share."

"..we have become wealthy, and wealth is the prelude to art. In every country where centuries of physical effort have accumulated the means for luxury and leisure, culture has followed as naturally as vegetation grows in a rich and watered soil. To have become wealthy was the first necessity; a people too must live before it can philosophize. No doubt we have grown faster than nations usually have grown; and the disorder of our souls is due to the rapidity of our development. We are like youths disturbed and unbalanced, for a time, by the sudden growth and experiences of puberty. But soon our maturity will come; our minds will catch up with our bodies, our culture with our possessions. Perhaps there are greater souls than Shakespeare's, and greater minds than Plato's, waiting to be born. When we have learned to reverence liberty as well as wealth, we too shall have our Renaissance."

"When nobody takes a responsibility it's yours."

"the world is better withoutthem.only the plants and the animals aretrue comrades. I drink to them and withthem."

"the price of creationis nevertoo high.the price of livingwith other peoplealwaysis."

"she wasn't veryinterestingbut few peopleare."
