“It is always a disappointment to turn from forthright consideration of some subject - whether from the Left or the Right, a poet or a plumber - to the Beltway version, in which the only aspects of the issue that matter are the effects it will have on the fortunes of the two parties and the various men in power.” MenTwoMatterTurnsLeftPartyIssuesSubjectsEffectsPoetAspectFortuneDisappointmentVariousVersionsConsiderationPlumber Author:Thomas Frank
“I started with the belief that every person who came to the laboratory was free to accept or to reject the dictates of authority. This view sustains a conception of human dignity insofar as it sees in each man a capacity for choosing his own behavior. And as it turned out, many subjects did, indeed, choose to reject the experimenter's commands, providing a powerful affirmation of human ideals.” MenHumansPersonsBeliefViewsPowerfulAcceptingSubjectsAuthorityBehaviorCapacityIdealsDignityCommandRejectsConceptionProvidingAffirmationLaboratoryHuman Dignity Author:Stanley Milgram

“I was often humiliated to see men disputing for a piece of bread, just as animals might have done. My feelings on this subject have very much altered since I have been personally exposed to the tortures of hunger. I have discovered, in fact, that a man, whatever may have been his origin, his education, and his habits, is governed, under certain circumstances, much more by his stomach than by his intelligence and his heart.” MenHeartMayHas BeensDoneFactsFeelingsMightScienceCertainAnimalPiecesSubjectsHabitCircumstancesHungerBreadTortureStomachExposedAlteredHumiliated Book:Biographies of Distinguished Scientific Men ...

“Men always fool themselves when they give up experience for systems born of the imagination. Man is the work of nature, he exists in nature, he is subject to its laws, he can not break free, he can not leave even in thought; it is in vain that his spirit wants to soar beyond the bounds of the visible world, he is always forced to return.” MenWorldWantGivingLawScienceSpiritNatureBornImaginationNaturalBreakSubjectsFoolReturnGiving UpBoundsVainVisibleCan NotSoar Author:Baron d'Holbach
“At the approach of danger two voices speak with equal force in the heart of man: one very reasonably tells the man to consider the nature of the danger and the means of avoiding it and the other, even more reasonable, says that it is too painful and harassing to think of the danger... better to turn aside from the painful subject till it has come, and to think of what is pleasant. In solitude a man generally yields to the first voice; in society to the second.” ThinkingMenFirstsHeartMeanTwoTurnsSpeakForceVoiceSubjectsDangerHe ManSolitudeEqualApproachPainfulPleasantReasonableYieldAvoiding Author:Leo Tolstoy
