“I tell myself I write because I want to say something true and original about the nature of evil. That is very ambitious - to say something about the human condition that hasn't been written before. Probably I will never succeed but that is what I strive to do.” WantWritingHumansEvilWrittenConditionsSucceedOriginalsStriveHuman ConditionAmbitiousNature Of Evil Author:Jo Nesbo
“Most programs are not write-once. They are reworked and rewritten again and again in their lived. Bugs must be debugged. Changing requirements and the need for increased functionality mean the program itself may be modified on an ongoing basis. During this process, human beings must be able to read and understand the original code. It is therefore more important by far for humans to be able to understand the program than it is for the computer.” NeedsWritingHumansMayMeanImportantAbleProcessHuman BeingsComputerProgramBasesOriginalsCodeAgain And AgainRequirementsBugsOngoingFunctionality Author:Yukihiro Matsumoto
“The aliens on this planet are also attempting to clone or replicate the human form artificially. Their original form, being humanoid, cannot pass the field that was established around the Earth. But if they can clone or cybernetically change their forms, it may help their designs. This is why virtual reality, cybernetics, cloning, and nanotechnology are in vogue today.” IfsHumansMayHelpingRealityTodayEarthFormDesignFieldsPlanetsOriginalsAliensBeing HumanAttemptingEugenicsVirtual RealityVogueHuman FormReplicateCyberneticsCloningNanotechnology Author:Michael Tsarion

“The whole gamut of good and evil is in every human being, certain notes, from stronger original quality or most frequent use, appearing to form the whole character; but they are only the tones most often heard.

“The story of the Fall always fascinates me as a play ground, but I cannot find any profound meaning in it, because of my 'liberal' view of human nature: I cannot believe in a state of original innocence, still less in a profound meaning in it, and I am always minimising the conception and the extent of Sin and the sinfulness of sex.” BelieveHumansStillsStatesPlayStoriesFallSexSinViewsHuman NatureOriginalsProfoundInnocenceConceptionSinfulness Author:E.

“It has been observed before that images, however beautiful, though faithfully copied from nature, and as accurately represented in words, do not of themselves characterize the poet. They become proofs of original genius only as far as they are modified by a predominant passion; or by associated thoughts or images awakened by that passion; or when they have the effect of reducing multitude to unity, or succession to an instant; or lastly, when a human and intellectual life is transferred to them from the poet's spirit.” HumansHas BeensBeautifulLife IsSpiritPassionEffectsPoetGeniusIntellectualOriginalsUnityProofInstantMultitudesReducingAwakenedSuccessionIntellectual Life Book:Biographia Literaria: Or, Biographical Sketches of My Literary Life and Opinions Source: Biographia Literaria: Or, Biographical Sketches of My Literary Life and Opinions
“'God' is the name given to the most 'important' human idea. In English, as in other languages, the original sense of the word is obscure. But the character of the name is the same in all languages: it is a question. 'God' is the question 'Is there something more important than, something besides, man?'” MenHumansImportantIdeasCharacterNamesLanguageGivenOriginalsObscure Author:Laura Riding
