“RoboCop the first movie was fantastic. But even if there was no movie, the concept of RoboCop is brilliant, first because it lends itself to a lot of social criticism, but also because it poses a question, 'When do you lose your humanity?” IfsFirstsHumanitySocialLosesConceptsCriticismBrilliantFantasticRobocop Author:Jose Padilha
“The greatest fallout of the space program, ... was not the close-up view of the moon, but a look at spaceship Earth from afar.

“My urgent advice to you would be, not only always to think first of America, but always, also, to think first of humanity. You do not love humanity if you seek to divide humanity into jealous camps. Humanity can be welded together only by love, by sympathy, by justice, not by jealousy and hatred. I am sorry for the man who seeks to make personal capital out of the passions of his fellowmen. He has lost touch with the ideal of America. For America was created to unit mankind.” IfsThinkingMenFirstsWould BeTogetherAmericaHumanityPassionLostJusticeAdviceMankindHe ManIdealsHatredSorryJealousDividesCampsUnitsUrgentI Am SorryAm Sorry Author:Woodrow Wilson

“Based on first-hand evidence of your own senses - the improved health and later ages at which acquaintances die nowadays as compared with the past; the material goods that we now possess; the speed at which information, entertainment, and we ourselves move freely throughout the world - it seems to me that a person must be literally deaf and blind not to perceive that humanity is in a much better state than ever before.” WorldFirstsPersonsStatesHandsSeemsAgePastMovingHumanityDiesInformationMaterialsEvidenceBlindEntertainmentSpeedSensesPerceiveGoodsDeafAcquaintanceDeaf And Blind Author:Julian Simon
“The figures... are not supposed to reveal anything... It's like seeing a stranger in some place like an air terminal for the first time.

“Books are the way that we communicate with the dead. The way that we learn lessons from those who are no longer with us, that humanity has built on itself, progressed, made knowledge incremental rather than something that has to be relearned, over and over. There are tales that are older than most countries, tales that have long outlasted the cultures and the buildings in which they were first told.” WayFirstsLongMadeBookCountryHumanityCultureBuildingLessonsBuiltCommunicateTalesLearning Lessons Book:The View from the Cheap Seats: Selected Nonfiction Source: The View from the Cheap Seats: Selected Nonfiction
