Physics investigates the essential nature of the world, and biology describes a local bump. Psychology, human psychology, describes a bump on the bump.
Unfortunately, it is human nature for us to only learn and grow from a place of emptiness. It's hard to learn when we are winning and on top of the world.
I'm a paleoanthropologist, and my job is to define man's place in nature and explore what makes us human.
The rise of man from the animal to the human level was prolonged by the necessity of rising from a state of barbarism and violence to one of order and peace.
Be humble, be gracious, and make peace with inner fears before stepping out into the limelight and allowing yourself to be subjected to all of humanity.
The earth is the Lord's fullness thereof: this is no longer a hollow dictum of religion, but a directive for economic action toward human brotherhood.
I don't practise any religion but I am deeply interested in the answers that mankind has come up with to explain the human situation.
I trained in medicine after pursuing an academic career in the humanities, mainly because of my interest in the relationship between mind and body, and between mind and brain.
I think romantic comedy, when done right, is my favorite genre. It's just a genre that's very human.
I regard romantic comedies as a subgenre of sci-fi, in which the world operates according to different rules than my regular human world.
I'm drawn to the romantic aspect of a character. It's human emotion. It's much more fun to watch. And it's much more fun to play.
I believe that not everything we humans encounter in our lives can be neatly and convincingly tucked away inside the orderly cabinetry of science.
In sports, I refused to do any interviews that were just going to become human-interest stories. Don't turn me into a tragic heroine.
It's rarely talked about, but hunting for sport is just about as vile as we humans get.
I'm always looking for something that tells me a little bit about what it means to be human. That's how I measure the success of any artistic endeavor.
Technology is us. There is no separation. It's a pure expression of human creative will. It doesn't exist anywhere else in the universe. I'm rather sure of that.
While the rest of the world has been improving technology, Ghana has been improving the quality of man's humanity to man.
Technology advances at exponential rates, and human institutions and societies do not. They adapt at much slower rates. Those gaps get wider and wider.
Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.
The thing that I love is human behavior - why people do what they do, who they are, and the choices that they make - and that has to always be plot driven.
I really respond to human scripts, scripts that are raw and real and risky. I love playing scary characters - not horror film scary, but vulnerable scary.
