Death is really a great blessing for humanity without it there could be no real progress. People who lived for ever would not only hamper and discourage the young but they would themselves lack sufficient stimulus to be creative.

Humanity should question itself once more about the absurd and always unfair phenomenon of war on whose stage of death and pain only remain standing the negotiating table that could and should have prevented it.

I'm a writer of faith who worries about the intolerance of religion. I look at the past and fear we haven't learned from it. I believe that humanity is capable of evil as well as great acts of courage and goodness. I have hope. Deep down I believe in the human spirit although sometimes that belief is shaken.

Ron Howard is as good a person as you could want to work with on film. He never lost his cool. He's the most easygoing lovely man but he's got this enormous intelligence and a wonderful humanity.

Personally I rather look forward to a computer program winning the world chess championship. Humanity needs a lesson in humility.

Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that once it is competently programmed and working smoothly it is completely honest.

We have to realize only in communication in real knowledge in real reaching out can there be an understanding that there's humanity everywhere and that's what I'm trying to do.

When I was at drama school I wanted to change the world and thought I had some great wisdom to impart to people about humanity. Now that I'm older I know enough to realise that I know nothing at all.

Climate change was a point of division between Obama and Republican rival Mitt Romney. The president declared climate change a global threat acknowledged that the actions of humanity were deepening the crisis and pledged to do something about it if elected.

I think there are a lot of technocrats in the business who would much rather work with just wheels and gears and machinery. Those things interest them more than humanity and I wish them the best of luck.

Politics are about preserving relationships at the end of the day and it has nothing to do with the greater good for humanity. It's just all about business.

Anything that isn't opposed by about 40 percent of humanity is either an evil business or so unimportant that it simply doesn't matter.

Advertising is a racket like the movies and the brokerage business. You cannot be honest without admitting that its constructive contribution to humanity is exactly minus zero.

The return of my birthday if I remember it fills me with thoughts which it seems to be the general care of humanity to escape.

Real education should consist of drawing the goodness and the best out of our own students. What better books can there be than the book of humanity?

One way or another we all have to find what best fosters the flowering of our humanity in this contemporary life and dedicate ourselves to that.

Celibacy is not just a matter of not having sex. It is a way of admiring a person for their humanity maybe even for their beauty.

Only on paper has humanity yet achieved glory beauty truth knowledge virtue and abiding love.

The whole aspect of cinema and film festivals should be a moment to come together and celebrate art and humanity. It would be a shame if there was such a divide.

I don't think art is propaganda it should be something that liberates the soul provokes the imagination and encourages people to go further. It celebrates humanity instead of manipulating it.

Wherever the art of medicine is loved there is also a love of humanity.

All humanity is passion without passion religion history novels art would be ineffectual.

Passion is universal humanity. Without it religion history romance and art would be useless.

Cities are the greatest creations of humanity.
