“The American child is a highly intelligent human being - characteristically sensitive, humorous, open-minded, eager to learn, and has a strong sense of excitement, energy, and healthy curiosity about the world in which he lives. Lucky indeed is the grown-up who manages to carry these same characteristics into adult life. It usually makes for a happy and successful individual.” WorldHumansChildrenDreamIndividualEnergyStrongHuman BeingsSuccessfulHealthyLuckyHumorousAdultsIntelligentCuriosityManageSensitiveExcitementCharacteristicsOpen MindedSuccessful IndividualsHighly Intelligent Author:Walt Disney
“This is a time when it is frightening to be alive, when it is hard to think of human beings as rational creatures. Everywhere we look we see brutality, stupidity, until it seems that there is nothing else to be seen but that--a descent into barbarism, everywhere, which we are unable to check. But I think that while it is true there is a general worsening, it is precisely because things are so frightening we become hypnotized, and do not notice--or if we notice, belittle--equally strong forces on the other side, the forces, in short, of reason, sanity and civilization.” IfsThinkingHumansLooksHardReasonSeemsStrongForceSidesHuman BeingsAliveCivilizationCreaturesStupidityChecksRationalSanityFrighteningBrutalityDescentBarbarismBelittle Book:Prisons We Choose to Live Inside Source: Prisons We Choose to Live Inside
“What right do we have to claim, as some might, that human beings are the only inhabitants of our planet blessed with an actual ability to be "aware"? The impression of a "conscious presence" is indeed very strong with me when I look at a dog or a cat or, especially, when an ape or monkey at the zoo looks at me. I do not ask that they are "self-aware" in any strong sense (though I would guess that an element of self-awareness can be present). All I ask is that they sometimes simply feel!” FeelsHumansLooksSelfSometimesMightAsksStrongHuman BeingsAbilityAwarenessDogPlanetsElementsConsciousCatClaimsSelf AwarenessBlessedImpressionVery StrongMonkeysLook At MeOur PlanetApesZoos Author:Roger Penrose

“The thoughts and opinions of one human being, if they are sincere, must always have an interest for some other human beings. The world is there to think about; and if we have lived, or are living, with any sort of energy, we must have thought about it, and about ourselves in relation to it - thought 'furiously' often. And it is out of the many 'thinkings' of many folk, strong or weak, dull or far-ranging, that thought itself grows.” IfsThinkingWorldHumansEnergyStrongGrowsInterestHuman BeingsOpinionWeakRelationFolksDullSincere Author:Mary Augusta Ward

“Death is a big theme in the book, illness. What is that? It's a fact that human beings - no matter who they are, no matter how healthy or strong or beautiful they are - are going to age and become weak and ugly by a certain standard, and die.
