“So we and our elaborately evolving computers may meet each other halfway. Someday a human being, named perhaps Fred White, may shoot a robot named Pete Something-or-other, which has come out of a General Electric factory, and to his surprise see it weep and bleed. And the dying robot may shoot back and, to its surprise, see a wisp of gray smoke arise from the electric pump that it supposed was Mr. White's beating heart. It would be rather a great moment of truth for both of them.” HumansHeartMayMomentsWould BeHuman BeingsWhiteDyingComputerSurpriseAriseSmokeEvolveSomedayGrayFactoriesElectricRobotsHalfwayPumpsGreat MomentsWispsMoment Of TruthGeneral Electric Book:The Shifting Realities of Philip K.

“I have a very hard time with this word 'non-violence,' because I don't believe that I am non-violent. ... Right now, I would love to kill George Bush. I don't know how I ever got a Nobel Peace Prize, because when I see children die, the anger in me is just beyond belief. It's our duty as human beings, whatever age we are, to become the protectors of human life.” KnowsLifeBelieveHumansChildrenHardAgeDeathDiesBeliefHuman BeingsKnow HowViolenceDyingDutyRight NowProtectAngerKillingDon't BelieveViolentHuman LifeHard TimesPrizeNobelNon ViolenceProtectorNon ViolentNobel Peace PrizeWording Author:Betty Williams
“So then man tortures and kills millions more animals to look for cures for these diseases. Elsewhere, millions of other human beings are being killed by hunger and malnutrition because food they could eat is being used to fatten domestic animals. Meanwhile, some people are dying of sad laughter at the absurdity of man, who kills so easily and so violently, and once a year, sends out cards praying for Peace on Earth.” PeopleMenYearsHumansLooksEarthUsedHuman BeingsAnimalMillionsDyingPrayingDiseaseLaughterHungerCuresCardsTortureVegetarianVeganElsewhereAbsurdityPeace On EarthMalnutritionAnimal WorldFactory FarmingInspirational Animal Author:David C.

“Here is the tragedy of theology in its distilled essence: The employment of high-powered human intellect, of genius, of profoundly rigorous logical deduction—studying nothing. In the Middle Ages, the great minds capable of transforming the world did not study the world; and so, for most of a millennium, as human beings screamed in agony—decaying from starvation, eaten by leprosy and plague, dying in droves in their twenties—the men of the mind, who could have provided their earthly salvation, abandoned them for otherworldly fantasies.” MenWorldMindHumansAgeHuman BeingsFantasyStudyMiddleDyingHe ManGeniusCapableEssenceTragedyTwentiesSalvationIntellectTheologyEmploymentLogicalAbandonedAgonyPlagueMiddle AgesTransformingStarvationMillenniumGreat MindsDeductionsLeprosyTransforming The World Author:Andrew Bernstein
