The love of beauty in its multiple forms is the noblest gift of the human cerebrum.

Unfortunately the attitude of many towards the press humanitarians included and especially government workers is often one of suspicion if not outright fear.

Let us change our traditional attitude to the construction of programs. Instead of imagining that our main task is to instruct a computer what to do let us concentrate rather on explaining to human beings what we want a computer to do.

The traditional Christian attitude toward human personality was that human nature was essentially good and that it was formed and modified by social pressures and training.

I think my attitude to human beings has changed since leaving prison.

Gardening is not trivial. If you believe that it is closely examine why you feel that way. You may discover that this attitude has been forced upon you by mass media and the crass culture it creates and maintains. The fact is gardening is just the opposite - it is or should be a central basic expression of human life.

If you can kill animals the same attitude can kill human beings. The mentality is the same which exploits nature and which creates wars.

The last of human freedoms - the ability to chose one's attitude in a given set of circumstances.

The work of art just like any fragment of human life considered in its deepest meaning seems to me devoid of value if it does not offer the hardness the rigidity the regularity the luster on every interior and exterior facet of the crystal.

A metaphysical tour de force of untethered meaning and involuting interlocking contrapuntal rhythms 'The Clock' is more than a movie or even a work of art. It is so strange and other-ish that it becomes a stream-of-consciousness algorithm unto itself - something almost inhuman.

A rose is the visible result of an infinitude of complicated goings on in the bosom of the earth and in the air above and similarly a work of art is the product of strange activities in the human mind.

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

In science as in art and as I believe in every other sphere of human activity there may be wisdom in a multitude of counsellors but it is only in one or two of them.

Really I don't like human nature unless all candied over with art.

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

The momentous thing in human life is the art of winning the soul to good or evil.
