Human Nature

«If there were no God, it would have been necessary to invent him.»
«There is a great deal of human nature in man.»
«Dogs never bite me. Just humans.»
«Democracy means simply the bludgeoning of the people by the people for the people.»
«The problem with people is that they're only human.»
«There, right in the midst of our lives, is that which satisfies the craving for inequality, and acts as a permanent reminder that medicine is not food. Hence a man?s reaction to monarchy is a kind of test. Monarchy can easily be ?debunked;' but watch the faces, mark the accents of the debunkers. These are the men whose tap-root in Eden has been cut: whom no rumour of the polyphony, the dance, can reach - men to whom pebbles laid in a row are more beautiful than an arch. Yet even if they desire equality, they cannot reach it. Where men are forbidden to honour a king they honour millionaires, athletes or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison.»
«Religions die when they are proved to be true. Science is the record of dead religions.»
«Men become old, but they never become good»
