“If we knew what we are, we should do as Sir Arthur Jermyn did; and Arthur Jermyn soaked himself in oil and set fire to his clothing one night.”
H. P Lovecraft
“The only thing that one really knows about human nature is that it changes. Change is the one quality we can predicate of it. The systems that fail are those that rely on the permanency of human nature, and not on its growth and development. The error of Louis XIV was that he thought human nature would always be the same. The result of his error was the French Revolution. It was an admirable result.”
Oscar Wilde
“There is an electric fire in human nature tending to purify - so that among these human creatures there is continually some birth of new heroism. The pity is that we must wonder at it, as we should at finding a pearl in rubbish.”
John Keats
“Slavery is also as ancient as war, and was as human nature.”
Voltaire
“Love is the basic need of human nature, for without it, life is disrupted emotionally, mentally, spiritually and physically”
Karl Menninger Dr.
“Dogs never bite me. Just humans.”
Marilyn Monroe
“If there were no God, it would have been necessary to invent him.”
