The human body is the best picture of the human soul.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The moment I have realized God sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free.
Swami Vivekananda
Utopias are presented for our inspection as a critique of the human state. If they are to be treated as anything but trivial exercises of the imagination. I suggest there is a simple test we can apply. We must forget the whole paraphernalia of social description, demonstration, expostulation, approbation, condemnation. We have to say to ourselves, ''How would I myself live in this proposed society? How long would it be before I went stark staring mad?''
William Golding
One can imagine a sane, healthy, cheerful human society based on no more than the principals of common sense, as validated each day by work, play, and living experience. But this remains the most utopian and fantastic of ideals.
Edward Abbey
Every daring attempt to make a great change in existing conditions, every lofty vision of new possibilities for the human race, has been labeled Utopian.
Emma Goldman
Necessity is the excuse for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of the tyrant and the creed of the slave.
William Pitt
Liberalism is totalitarianism with a human face.
Thomas Sowell
I love dogs. They live in the moment and don't care about anything except affection and food. They're loyal and happy. Humans are just too damn complicated.
David Duchovny
God almighty first planted a garden. And indeed, it is the purest of human pleasures
Francis Bacon
Canada is one of the planet's most comfortable, and caring, societies. The United Nations Human Development Index cited the country as the most desirable place in the world to live. This year a World Bank study named Canada the globe's second wealthiest society after Australia.

The aim of a joke is not to degrade the human being, but to remind him that he is already degraded
George Orwell
A human being is part of the whole, called by us ‘Universe’; a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest — a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and affection for a few persons nearest us.
Albert Einstein
Writers are the engineers of human souls.
Joseph Stalin
It is in literature that the concrete outlook of humanity receives its expression
Alfred North Whitehead
