Quotes:He's a fallen hero, a very gentle man under that exterior. He's lived in an environment always ravaged by war and had to be realistic. He wants to use the ring against the enemy instead of destroying it. He doesn't understand the complexities this piece of metal can have on
human beings. (on Boromir, Lord of the Rings)

human mind has not achieved anything greater than the ability to share feelings and thoughts through language
View quotes by James Earl JonesOnce the realization is accepted that even between the closest
human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky.
View quotes by Rainer Maria RilkeNo
human being is constituted to know the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth; and even the best of men must be content with fragments, with partial glimpses, never the full fruition.

human beings who receive the truth, complete and staggering, by instant illumination. Most of them acquire it fragment by fragment, on a small scale, by successive developments, cellularly, like a laborious mosaic.

Human Bondage
View quotes by W Somerset MaughamIdeally, advertising aims at the goal of a programmed harmony among all
human impulses and aspirations and endeavors. Using handicraft methods, it stretches out toward the ultimate electronic goal of a collective consciousness.

human beings, there is no better instrument than lies. Because you see,
