People need motivation to do anything. I don't think human beings learn anything without desperation.
For me, learning music and playing music and learning your instrument has incredible parallels for our day-to-day existence as human beings. All the ideas of discipline, and having a sense of yourself and translating that to music, that's all part of life's journey.
Most human beings are quite likeable if you do not see too much of them.
The ability to make love frivolously is the chief characteristic which distinguishes human beings from beasts.
What our leaders and pundits never let slip is that the terrorists - whatever else they might be - might also be rational human beings; which is to say that in their own minds they have a rational justification for their actions.
Human beings are a social species. We like to hang together in groups, just like wildebeests, just like lions. Wildebeests don't hang with lions because lions eat wildebeests. Human beings are like that. We do what that group does that we're trying to identify with.
I think that Michael Jackson, just as an entertainer, as a figure who embodies the contradictions of black identity and the possibilities of R&B music in the '70s and '80s, will continue to be one of the most recognized and formidable human beings that we've ever produced in our tradition.
Going to the movies still remains, arguably, amongst the best communal experiences that human beings can share.
Once you touch the biographies of human beings, the notion that political beliefs are logically determined collapses like a pricked balloon.
Human beings lose their logic in their vindictiveness.
I am trying to show the world that we are all human beings and that color is not important. What is important is the quality of our work.
All that happens is that the destruction of human beings - unless they're Americans - is called collateral damage.
For me an object is something living. This cigarette or this box of matches contains a secret life much more intense than that of certain human beings.
Often we're recreating what we think we're supposed to be as human beings. What we've been told we're supposed to be, instead of who we authentically are. The key about the creation of full self-expression is to be authentically who you are, to project that.
Many of the people I know and that you know are very complex human beings, and it's not all about race. Everything isn't a question of race. Everything isn't a question of economics at the very base level.
We are the first generation of human beings to have substantial insights into the origin of our cosmos and of human life in it.
I have found little that is 'good' about human beings on the whole. In my experience most of them are trash, no matter whether they publicly subscribe to this or that ethical doctrine or to none at all. That is something that you cannot say aloud, or perhaps even think.
No matter where you come from, we all share the same struggles as human beings, and my beginning is no different.
As human beings we do change, grow, adapt, perhaps even learn and become wiser.
As human beings, we are the only organisms that create for the sheer stupid pleasure of doing so. Whether it's laying out a garden, composing a new tune on the piano, writing a bit of poetry, manipulating a digital photo, redecorating a room, or inventing a new chili recipe - we are happiest when we are creating.
Those who live in a world of human beings can only retrace their steps.
We all know the mortality of companies is less than human beings.
We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.
But while they prate of economic laws, men and women are starving. We must lay hold of the fact that economic laws are not made by nature. They are made by human beings.
Its unfortunate and I really wish I wouldn't have to say this, but I really like human beings who have suffered. They're kinder.
Government is an unnecessary evil. Human beings, when accustomed to taking responsibility for their own behavior, can cooperate on a basis of mutual trust and helpfulness.
Technology will never last if it ignores human beings' basic instinct to express and discover through expression.
I love, I love human beings, studying them.
We're all complex human beings, and if some of that complexity shows through, I think it's advantageous for the movie.
People think our work is monumental because it's art, but human beings do much bigger things: they build giant airports, highways for thousands of miles, much, much bigger than what we create.
The other salient characteristic of the Declaration is its universality: it applies to all human beings without any discrimination whatever; it also applies to all territories, whatever their economic or political regime.
We would not be interested in human beings if we did not have the hope of someday meeting someone worse off than ourselves.
Traditional academic science describes human beings as highly developed animals and biological thinking machines. We appear to be Newtonian objects made of atoms, molecules, cells, tissues, and organs.
Revolution comes when human beings set out to correct decadent institutions.
I theorize that there is a spectrum of consciousness available to human beings. At one end is material consciousness. At the other end is what we call 'field' consciousness, where a person is at one with the universe, perceiving the universe. Just by looking at our planet on the way back, I saw or felt a field consciousness state.
The microgravity or the very, very low amount of gravity that we have up in space forces some changes in different processes. It forces changes in us as human beings.
