People want to hear about the extremes of human nature. They want things that are larger than their own lives and more romantic and not necessarily of their own experiences.

The romantic idea is that everybody around a writer must suffer for his talent. I think a writer is a citizen of humanity part of his nation part of his family. He may have to make some compromises.

I'm probably a bit romantic about it but I think we humans miss having contact with fire. We need it.

I regard romantic comedies as a subgenre of sci-fi in which the world operates according to different rules than my regular human world.

We must not however be like the leaders of the great romantic revolt who in their eagerness to get rid of the husk of convention disregarded also the humane aspiration.

I think romantic comedy when done right is my favorite genre. It's just a genre that's very human.

We owe to the Middle Ages the two worst inventions of humanity - romantic love and gunpowder.

Marches alone won't bring integration when human respect is disintegratin'

Science without respect for human life is degrading to us all and reflects a hollow and deceptive philosophy a philosophy that we as a people should never condone.

We all would like to see a brighter future for Haiti and I hope this conference will serve to explore many views. Respect for human rights freedom and the rule of law must be established in the poorest nation in our hemisphere.

Of course the plea for respect for nonhuman life goes far beyond the scientific delight of familiarity with our planet mates. The nonhuman forms of life with which we 6 000 million talking upright apes share this finite planet are directly or indirectly connected to our well-being.

While I will always have the utmost respect for the superhuman out-of-bounds freestyle and extreme stunts that seem to continually progress beyond our imaginable limits my highest appreciation goes out to the simple rider who's out there just for the experience.

Since achieving their independence in 1992 the people of Croatia have built a democratic society based on the rule of law respect for human rights and a free market economy.

The E.U. is more than just a trade organization or a common market it is a guarantee of democracy freedom justice and human rights. Nations cannot stay in the E.U. if they do not respect these guarantees.

Terrorism can never be accepted. We must fight it together with methods that do not compromise our respect for the rule of law and human rights or are used as an excuse for others to do so.

How have relations with Iran and Belarus benefited Venezuela? We are interested in countries that have democracies that respect human rights that we have an affinity with. What affinity do we have with Iran?

For about ten years now the struggle for democracy and the respect of human rights has been in the focus point - if not a commodity - of political groups aiming to rise to power.

Whose rights will we acknowledge? Whose human dignity will we respect? For whose well-being will we as a people assume responsibility?

Writing fiction has developed in me an abiding respect for the unknown in a human lifetime and a sense of where to look for the threads how to follow how to connect find in the thick of the tangle what clear line persists.

The respect for human rights is nowadays not so much a matter of having international standards but rather questions of compliance with those standards.

Internationalism is a community theory of society which is founded on economic spiritual and biological facts. It maintains that respect for a healthy development of human society and of world civilization requires that mankind be organized internationally.

The respect for human rights essential if we are to use technology wisely is not something alien that must be grafted onto science. On the contrary it is integral to science as also to scholarship in general.

My stories are about humans and how they react or fail to react or react stupidly. I'm pointing the finger at us not at the zombies. I try to respect and sympathize with the zombies as much as possible.

The twentieth century has exhibited a barbarism and lack of respect for human life on a massive scale just about unknown before.
