I think the fact that emotions have been reduced and put off to the side in intellectual work, particularly in the 20th Century, is tragic.” ThinkingHumansHas BeensFactsSidesHuman BeingsEmotionCenturyKeysElementsIntellectualAspectTragicBeing Human20th CenturyAspects Of Life Author:Bill Viola
“I am secretly afraid of animals.... I think it is because of the usness in their eyes, with the underlying not-usness which beliesit, and is so tragic a reminder of the lost age when we human beings branched off and left them: left them to eternal inarticulateness and slavery. Why? their eyes seem to ask us.” ThinkingHumansSeemsEyeAgeAsksLostLeftHuman BeingsAnimalEternalSlaveryTragicReminders Author:Edith Wharton
“It's absurd and quite tragic the way people have managed to pit science against faith. They aren't in conflict at all - they're long lost dance partners. I don't divide the world up into Christians and other people - we are all human beings, brothers and sisters, and we embrace truth wherever we find it, whether that's in a lab, a field or a cathedral. Because sometimes you need a scientist and sometimes you need a poet.” PeopleWorldWayNeedsHumansLongSometimesChristianLostHuman BeingsFieldsPoetBrotherConflictScientistEmbracePartnersAbsurdTragicDividesBrothers And SistersPitsLabsCathedralsDance Partner Author:Rob Bell
