'Freedom from fear' could be said to sum up the whole philosophy of human rights.

Fear is a disease that eats away at logic and makes man inhuman.

I can't understand people calling themselves religious and being hateful. If a preacher is preaching hate to fear God that's not religion that's not helping humanity that's organizing an army to defeat somebody.

If you fear making anyone mad then you ultimately probe for the lowest common denominator of human achievement.

In itself homosexuality is as limiting as heterosexuality: the ideal should be to be capable of loving a woman or a man either a human being without feeling fear restraint or obligation.

Neither a man nor a crowd nor a nation can be trusted to act humanely or to think sanely under the influence of a great fear.

The Cuban people still live in constant fear of a brutal totalitarian regime that has demonstrated time and again its utter disregard for basic human dignity. The fight for a free Cuba has gone on for far too long.

Writing is a form of therapy sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write compose or paint can manage to escape the madness melancholia the panic and fear which is inherent in a human situation.

To pity distress is but human to relieve it is Godlike.

Fear makes us feel our humanity.

I think the thing to remember though the next time you hear someone who is really certain that he is on the side of the angels is that the idea of angels was created by human beings who are famous for being frequently untrustworthy and occasional.

I am the most well-adjusted human being I know. I started out this investigation as a very happy man with a great career. I've got the life people dream about: I am rich I am famous I've got a fabulous marriage to an absolutely spell-bindingly brilliant woman.

I think that people who are famous tend to be underdeveloped in their humanity skills.

My discrepancy with children in the industry is that they are made famous before they know who they are as human beings.

Acting is not about being famous it's about exploring the human soul.

The importance of human life should be universally respected - and that refers to children before they are born and after. All children have the right to be brought up in a loving two-parent family where the notion of divorce is not even possible.

To me money is the ability to create lifelong experiences for my family and myself to educate my children and a way to give back to humanity.

Humans have a fraught relationship with beasts. They are our companions and our chattel our family members and our laborers our household pets and our household pests. We love them and cage them admire them and abuse them. And of course we cook and eat them.

If you want to look at the state of humans you should look at the state of animals first. People are choosing whether or not they can feed an animal and their family. And every shelter coast-to-coast is stuffed.

From very early on in my childhood - four five years old - I felt alien to the human race. I felt very comfortable with thinking I was from another planet because I felt disconnected - I was very tall and skinny and I didn't look like anybody else I didn't even look like any member of my family.

All the songs I write are about human dynamics whether it's with girlfriends boyfriends or family.

The purpose of the Seder to my mind is to inspire conversations with your family about the human drama and hopefully transmit values to the next generation. I've always felt like this could be better.

Life is not a matter of place things or comfort rather it concerns the basic human rights of family country justice and human dignity.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights describes the family as the natural and fundamental unit of society. It follows that any choice and decision with regard to the size of the family must irrevocably rest with the family itself and cannot be made by anyone else.
