Yet, the Universe is real enough to the conscious beings in it, which are as unreal as it is itself.
Collaboration to me is... my favorite collaboration in the theatre is the collaboration between the actors and the audience because it's just that thing that happens when the only thing left that is left on the human scale is that human beings come to look at other human beings act out stories.
If there were a science of human beings it would be anthropology that aims at understanding the totality of experience through structural context.

Human beings must be known to be loved; but Divine beings must be loved to be known.
That's all I could ever hope for, to have a positive effect on women. 'Cos women are powerful, powerful beings. But they're also the most doubtful beings. They'll never know - we'll never know - how powerful we are.
When it comes to the pinch, human beings are heroic.
One of the peculiar sins of the twentieth century which we've developed to a very high level is the sin of credulity. It has been said that when human beings stop believing in God they believe in nothing. The truth is much worse: they believe in anything.

Dogs are better than human beings because they know but do not tell.
There's a rebirth that goes on with us continuously as human beings. I don't understand, personally, how you can be bored. I can understand how you can be depressed, but I just don't understand boredom.
I think that what went wrong with religion is the same thing that went wrong with politics. Is that it became too money based and too controlling. It's just a weakness that we human beings have for control - we want one thing and then we want more and then we want more.

I get a lot of people saying to me, 'Oh, you're the actor who plays the nutters,' and I'm not. I'm the guy who plays human beings. I understand why the characters are doing what they're doing.

As we've lost this idea of pilgrimage, we've lost this idea of human beings walking for a very, very long time. It does change you.
The human is indissolubly linked with imitation: a human being only becomes human at all by imitating other human beings.
For God is himself the Being of all Beings, and we are as gods in him, through whom he revealeth himself.
