“But we can do nothing for the human future that we will not do for the human present. For the amelioration of the future condition of our kind we must look, not to the wealth or the genius of the coming generations, but to the quality of the disciplines and attitudes that we are preparing now for their use.” HumansLooksKindUseCan DoWealthAttitudeQualityGenerationsConditionsGeniusDisciplineEnvironmentalSustainabilityPreparing Book:A Continuous Harmony: Essays Cultural and Agricultural Source: A Continuous Harmony: Essays Cultural and Agricultural
“Technologically, modern man does everything he can do-he functions on this single boundary principle. Modern man, seeing himself as autonomous, with no personal-infinite God who has spoken, has no adequate universal to supply an adequate second boundary condition; and man being fallen is not only finite, but sinful. Thus man's pragmatically made choices have no reference point beyond human egotism. It is dog eat dog, man eat man, man eat nature.” MenHumansDoeMadeChoicesCan DoPrinciplesSeeingModernConditionsDogUniversalFunctionInfiniteEnvironmentalBoundariesFallenFiniteAdequateStewardshipEgotismModern ManAutonomous Author:Francis Schaeffer
“Germans, Frenchmen and Englishmen can say of themselves: "I am the state." I cannot say that. In Russia only the people in the Kremlin can say that.

“There's this idea that artists are free and that means that we can do whatever we want to do. And it's very important to engage with this idea, just as human beings, that we are free to do what we wanna do. So the real question becomes, then, what do we wanna do? And as one gets to know oneself, one finds that there are things that return again and again that you wanna do.” KnowsWantHumansMeanImportantIdeasRealArtistCan DoHuman BeingsReturnOneselfAgain And AgainKnowing OneselfReal Questions Author:Chris Martin
“Acting is many things. Acting is playing lines, of course, but it's much more profound than that. Acting is truth-telling, and trying to find the truth in a human situation, which will be sketched out by a screenwriter with all the skill that a screenwriter can do; but in the end, that's just the map of the journey. The actor's job is to divine and embody the truth, and find it.” TryingHumansEndsJobsCoursesActorsCan DoLinesActingSituationJourneyDivineSkillsProfoundTelling The TruthMapsScreenwriters Author:Paul Greengrass
“I really love to be with people. It's nice, that. To have achieved sudden intimacy with strangers is perhaps the most human thing you can do.

“Dogs are intelligent beings; they are not human beings.

“All the big pop acts that I've been into over the years - whether it's ABBA or Prince - managed to combine amazing melodies and honest human emotion.
