Tony Hoyt: What the fuck is your problem, Taylor? She's a fucking dink! Chris Taylor: She's a fucking human being, man! Fuck you!
Steven Jacobs: [to Will] I swear, you know everything about the human brain except the way it works.
Blanche DuBois: Straight? What's 'straight'? A line can be straight, or a street. But the heart of a human being?
Nader: I went there cause I have a sense of humanity. Hodjat: where was your sense of humanity when you were hitting her ?
But this Christ or Redeemer took not upon him the nature of angels, but the seed of Abraham, that is, human nature, that in the nature which sinned he might make the expiation required.
It is one thing for the human mind to extract from the phenomena of nature the laws which it has itself put into them; it may be a far harder thing to extract laws over which it has no control.
Corruption, embezzlement, fraud, these are all characteristics which exist everywhere. It is regrettably the way human nature functions, whether we like it or not. What successful economies do is keep it to a minimum. No one has ever eliminated any o...
Every economy exists, no matter what the level of democracy, has elements of crony capitalism. It's - given human nature and given the democratic structures, which we all, I assume, adhere to, that is an inevitable consequence.
The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty records. They are written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself; and can never be erased or obscured by mortal...

Our behavior toward each other is the strangest, most unpredictable, and most unaccountable of all the phenomena with which we are obliged to live. In all of nature, there is nothing so threatening to humanity as humanity itself.
