“For everything in this journey of life we are on, there is a right wing and a left wing: for the wing of love there is anger; for the wing of destiny there is fear; for the wing of pain there is healing; for the wing of hurt there is forgiveness; for the wing of pride there is humility; for the wing of giving there is taking; for the wing of tears there is joy; for the wing of rejection there is acceptance; for the wing of judgment there is grace; for the wing of honor there is shame; for the wing of letting go there is the wing of keeping. We can only fly with two wings and two wings can only stay in the air if there is a balance. Two beautiful wings is perfection. There is a generation of people who idealize perfection as the existence of only one of these wings every time. But I see that a bird with one wing is imperfect. An angel with one wing is imperfect. A butterfly with one wing is dead. So this generation of people strive to always cut off the other wing in the hopes of embodying their ideal of perfection, and in doing so, have created a crippled race.”
C. JoyBell C.

Krista Ritchie
“Whether it's men, women—it doesn't really matter. The human race is filled with passion and lust. And to coin terms like heterosexuality, homosexuality or even bisexuality makes no sense to me. You are human. You love who you love. You fuck who you fuck. That should be enough—no labels. No stigmas. Nothing. Just be to be.
But life isn't that kind. People will always find things to hate.”
Krista Ritchie, Kiss the Sky

“The human body resonates at the same frequency as Mother Earth. So instead of only focusing on trying to save the earth, which operates in congruence to our vibrations, I think it is more important to be one with each other. If you really want to remedy the earth, we have to mend mankind. And to unite mankind, we heal the Earth. That is the only way. Mother Earth will exist with or without us. Yet if she is sick, it is because mankind is sick and separated. And if our vibrations are bad, she reacts to it, as do all living creatures.”
Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

Charles Bukowski
“The human race had always disgusted me. essentially, what made them disgusting was the family-relationship illness, which included marriage, exchange of power and aid, which neighborhood, your district, your city, your county, your state, your nation-everybody grabbing each other's assholes in the Honeycomb of survival out of a fear-animalistic stupidity.”
Charles Bukowski, Erections, Ejaculations, Exhibitions, and General Tales of Ordinary Madness

Jim Butcher
“But I don't understand God. I don't understand how he could see the way people treat one another, and not chalk up the whole human race as a bad idea.”
Jim Butcher, Grave Peril

Tiffany Madison
“The Internet is the Petri dish of humanity. We can't control what grows in it, but we don't have to watch either.”
Tiffany Madison

Han Kang
“I never let myself forget that every single person I meet is a member of this human race. And that includes you, professor, listening to this testimony. As it includes myself.”
Han Kang, Human Acts

Mark Twain
“Well, there are times when one would like to hang the whole human race and finish the farce.”
Mark Twain

H.L. Mencken
“Indeed it may be said with some confidence that the average man never really thinks from end to end of his life. There are moments when his cogitations are relatively more respectable than usual, but even at their climaxes they never reach anything properly describable as the level of serious thought. The mental activity of such people is only a mouthing of clichés. What they mistake for thought is simply a repetition of what they have heard. My guess is that well over eighty per cent. of the human race goes through life without having a single original thought. That is to say, they never think anything that has not been thought before and by thousands.”
H.L. Mencken, Minority Report

Guy Morris
“American evangelical leaders have succumbed to a watered-down salvation of entitlement, prosperity, conservative judges, and anti-abortion laws. They reap the seeds they’ve sown in an inept, blasphemous leader who divides and weakens his nation. Stripped of world dominance, power, and respect, Catholic leaders waddle in the shame of their pedophile-plagued clergy, inviting pagan religions into the house of God. Each has cut a Faustian deal with the devil, which presents Andre with an opportunity: a path to redemption”
Guy Morris, Swarm

Christopher Hitchens
“What struck me, in reading the reports from Sri Lanka, was the mild disgrace of belonging to our imperfectly evolved species in the first place. People who had just seen their neighbors swept away would tell the reporters that they knew a judgment had been coming, because the Christians had used alcohol and meat at Christmas or because... well, yet again you can fill in the blanks for yourself. It was interesting, though, to notice that the Buddhists were often the worst. Contentedly patting an image of the chubby lord on her fencepost, a woman told theNew York Timesthat those who were not similarly protected had been erased, while her house was still standing. There were enough such comments, almost identically phrased, to make it seem certain that the Buddhist authorities had been promulgating this consoling and insane and nasty view. That would not surprise me.”
Christopher Hitchens

N.H. Kleinbaum
“Medicine, law, banking - these are necessary to sustain life. But poetry, romance, love, beauty? These are what we stay alive for!”
N. H. Kleinbaum

Guy Morris
“We have now entered a new and far more dangerous phase of cyberwarfare where artificial intelligence will complicate and accelerate all aspects of defensive and offensive strategies.”
Guy Morris, Swarm

Toba Beta
“There's no doomsday scheme made specifically for mankind,
only higher agenda and priority than human race preservation.”
Toba Beta, My Ancestor Was an Ancient Astronaut

Guy Morris
“Prophecy is not meant to see into the future, but to understand the meaning of the future when it occurs.”
Guy Morris, Swarm

Guy Morris
“Even with our immense wealth and technology, we continue to abuse the planet and each other for the sake of easy packaging and a cheap, disposable lifestyle. Unchecked population continues to outstrip the availability of housing, water, food, education, and jobs, while we squabble over politics, religion, gender, race, and nationality. Factor in the unrelenting advance of climate change, ocean acidification, the sixth extinction, the nuclear waste time bomb, ground water depletion, the social cancer of wealth inequality, dystopian surveillance, and the unstoppable US deficit growth and that’s a really bad news day for most of the planet during any age.”
Guy Morris, Swarm

Arthur Miller
“EMILY: Tell me, Henri, as a truth-loving philosopher—wouldn't you gladly resign from the human race if only there was another one to belong to?
HENRI: Oh, of course. But are we sure it would be any better?”
Arthur Miller, Resurrection Blues: A Prologue and Two Acts

Freya Stark
“Few are the giants of the soul who actually feel that the human race is their family circle.”
Freya Stark

“Humanity must work in harmony to prevent sickness, which is a major destroyer of human race.”
Lailah Gifty Akita

“The human race is destroyed by sickness.”

Steven Magee
“The global government is on a mass suicide mission for the human race.”
Steven Magee

“Independentemente das línguas que falamos ou da cor da nossa pele, partilhamos antepassados que plantaram arroz nas margens do Yangtzé, que foram os primeiros a domesticar cavalos nas estepes da Ucrânia, que caçaram preguiças gigantes nas florestas da América do Norte e do Sul, e que trabalharam com afinco na construção da Grande Pirâmide de Quéops.”
Joseph Chang

Ronald Reagan
“If suddenly there was a threat to this world form some other species from another planet, we'd forget all the little local differences that we have between our two countries and we would find out once and for all that we really are all human beings on this earth.”
Ronald Reagan

Thomm Quackenbush
“You may not believe it now, but the human race only went on because we loved one another. We were better than the animals because love came before sex to build families and defend them against the world.”
Thomm Quackenbush, The Lifecycle of Suns

Avijeet Das
“We are failing as one human race. Nothing seems to justify our so called I.Q levels. We are bent upon annihilating the world.”
Avijeet Das

“Offsprings of Africa
(Black History Sonnet)

If a black family lives
long enough in a cold climate,
in about 100 generations or so,
their descendants will be born white.

This is how the white people were born,
Because we all come from a black mother.
No matter where we live on earth,
We're all Africans - our homeland, Africa.

Till you get this anthropological fact,
You are but a traitor to earth.
Black History is World History,
We are all offsprings of Africa.”
Abhijit Naskar, Bulletproof Backbone: Injustice Not Allowed on My Watch

Abhijit Naskar
“Twinkle twinkle little star,
I know exactly what you are.
Nursery rhyme for humankind,
Descending all from Africa.”
Abhijit Naskar, Bulletproof Backbone: Injustice Not Allowed on My Watch

Abhijit Naskar
“On earth we are immigrants from Africa - out in space we'd be immigrants from Earth - in a different galaxy, we'd be immigrants from Milkyway. To put simply, in exploration of space, both external and internal, terms like immigrant and indigenous are meaningless. It's the heart that makes us indigenous or immigrant, not blood.”
Abhijit Naskar, Tum Dunya Tek Millet: Greatest Country on Earth is Earth

Abhijit Naskar
“North, South, East, West,
Abandon all primitive divide.
Your culture is my culture,
Together alone shall we thrive!”
Abhijit Naskar, Tum Dunya Tek Millet: Greatest Country on Earth is Earth
