A: There is no grand scheme of things. B: If there were a grand scheme of things, the fact – the fact – that we are not equipped to perceive it, either by natural or supernatural means, is a nightmarish obscenity. C: The very notion of a grand scheme of things is a nightmarish obscenity.

Thomas Ligotti

Monty Oum

It is already becoming clear that a chapter which had a Western beginning will have to have an Indian ending if it is not to end in self-destruction of the human race.

The only things in my life that compatibly exists with this grand universe are the creative works of the human spirit.

Ansel Adams

It is so basic. A human being is an innocent part of nature. Our civilization has distorted this universal quality that allows us to feel at home in our skin. Other animals have coats that they accept, but the human race has yet to come to terms with being nude.

Ruth Bernhard

But it has, in addition, an even more precious quality - a consciousness of the human intelligence, the human spirit and that man is a social creature.

Seeing things a human shouldn't have to see makes us human.

Terry Pratchett

We've been merging with tools since the beginning of human evolution, and arguably, that's one of the things that makes us human beings.
