“When you cut human beings down to size, we're really quite simple creatures; food, shelter, warmth, light, heat and you build it up from there really until you finally go Gucci shoes or whatever it is or whatever your consumer desires are. All those desires are ultimately, they're about gratification.” HumansLightDesireHuman BeingsSimpleCuttingCreaturesShoesSizeConsumersHeatWarmthShelterGratificationGucci Author:Bruce Dickinson
“Human beings thought with their hands. It was their hands that were the answer of curiosity, that felt and pinched and turned and lifted and hefted. There were animals that had brains of respectable size, but they had no hands and that made all the difference.” HumansMadeHandsFeltDifferencesHuman BeingsAnswersAnimalBrainCuriositySizeRespectable Book:Foundation's Edge Source: Foundation's Edge
“Sculpture is, in the twentieth century, a wide field of experience, with many facets of symbol and material and individual calligraphy. But in all these varied and exciting extensions of our experience we always come back tot the fact that we are human beings of such and such a size, biologically the same as primitive man, and that it is through drawing and observing, or observing and drawing, that we equate our bodies with our landscape.” MenHumansFactsBodyIndividualHuman BeingsCenturyFieldsMaterialsExcitingSizeWideDrawingSymbolsLandscapePrimitiveExtensionsSculptureObservingTwentieth CenturyFacetsCalligraphyPrimitive ManTots Author:Barbara Hepworth

“It seems that every life form on this planet strives toward its maximum potential... except human beings. A tree does not grow to half its potential size and then say, "l guess that will do." A tree will drive its roots as deep as possible. It will soak up as much nourishment as it can, stretch as high and as wide as nature will allow, and then look down as if to remind us of how much each of us could become if we would only do all that we can.” IfsHumansLooksDoeSeemsFormGrowsHuman BeingsHalfTreePlanetsRootsStriveSizeWideStrifeMaximumNourishmentMaximum Potential Author:Jim Rohn
“Very few species have survived unchanged. There's one called lingula, which is a little shellfish, a little brachiopod about the size of my fingernail, that has survived for 500 million years, but it's survived by being unobtrusive and doing nothing, and you can't accuse human beings of that.” YearsHumansLittlesHuman BeingsMillionsSpeciesSizeSurvivedDoing NothingFingernailsShellfish Author:David Attenborough
“Human beings, because we're so clever, have removed every single one of those population limiting factors... So nothing controls our increase in numbers except our own wish. Since I first started making television programs, the population of the world has increased three times. That's an extraordinary notion. Can it increase four times? Can it increase five times? The Earth is a finite size. So a point will eventually come when we run out of food, when we run out of space and when we will have destroyed most of the natural world. So ought we to do something about it before that happens?” WorldFirstsHumansHappensRunningEarthThreeWishNaturalHuman BeingsSpaceNumbersFiveFourTelevisionOughtProgramIncreaseExtraordinaryNotionSizePopulationCleverFactorsDestroyedFiniteThree TimesNatural World Author:David Attenborough
