“Science, supported by humanity as a whole, has enabled us to explain that when humans became fully conscious and able to wrest management of our lives from our instincts, our instincts resisted this takeover and that it was this opposition that unavoidably led to the ‘corrupted’, upset angry, egocentric and alienated state of our human condition. Further, it is this ability now to understand how we became upset that allows that upset state to subside.”
Jeremy Griffith
“Religions die when they are proved to be true. Science is the record of dead religions.”
Oscar Wilde
“The science of the mind can only have for its proper goal the understanding of human nature by every human being, and through its use, brings peace to every human soul.”
Alfred Adler
“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.”
“We may be seeing a coming together of the humanities and the science of human nature.”
Steven Pinker
“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”
