What is Hope?Hope is that inner dynamic that compels us to explore and pursue the expectations built into the human condition. Hope was born the day the first human beings discovered the first bridge and decided not to jump off the bridge in despair, but to cross it

Henri Nouwen

I think that if there's one key insight science can bring to fiction, it's that fiction - the study of the human condition - needs to broaden its definition of the human condition. Because the human condition isn't immutable and doomed to remain uniform forever.

Charles Stross

We hammer wood for a house, but it is the inner space that makes it liveable.

Laozi

The human condition comprehends more than the condition under which life has been given to man. Men are conditioned beings because everything they come in contact with turns immediately into a condition of their existence. The world in which the vita activa spends itself consists of things produced by human activities; but the things that owe their existence exclusively to men nevertheless constantly condition their human makers.

Hannah Arendt

The Fall is an offense to human reason, but once accepted, it makes perfect sense of the human condition.

Blaise Pascal

The tragedy of the human condition is that the thing that makes us most human - community - originates in the inhumanity of war.

George Friedman

Flowers are not symbols of power. Flowers are too brief, too frail, to elicit much hope of eternity. In truth, flowers are far removed from the human condition and from all human hope. For a moment, in that moment, flowers are simply beautiful.

Sharman Apt Russell

He who despairs of the human condition is a coward, but he who has hope for it is a fool.

Albert Camus

We're talking a lot about reason and religion today, but I really hope that the American experiment can continue, because liberty really is a condition of the human heart and I have a great love and hope for the future of people.

James Wasserman

I am always talking about the human condition and about American society in particular: what it is like to be human, what makes us weep, what makes us fall and stumble and somehow rise and go on from darkness into darkness and that darkness carpeted.

Maya Angelou

The business of fiction is the study of the human condition, and gender is something that many humans are obsessed with, thus making it rather difficult to ignore when studying the human condition!

Charles Stross

The human condition is the human condition, and what we try to do is illuminate the human condition.
