Text Quotes
Every human activity can be put at the service of the divine and of love. We should all exercise our gift to build community  (Human Activity Quotes) Technologies are not merely aids to human activity, but also powerful forces acting to reshape that activity and its meaning  (Human Activity Quotes) Climate change is a global problem. The planet is warming because of the growing level of greenhouse gas emissions from human activity. If this trend continues, truly catastrophic consequences are likely to ensue from rising sea levels, to reduced water availability, to more heat waves and fires  (Human Activity Quotes) The whole fauna of human fantasies, their marine vegetation, drifts and luxuriates in the dimly lit zones of human activity, as though plaiting thick tresses of darkness. Here, too, appear the lighthouses of the mind, with their outward resemblance to less pure symbols. The gateway to mystery swings open at the touch of human weakness and we have entered the realms of darkness. One false step, one slurred syllable together reveal a man’s thoughts  (Human Activity Quotes) The magic of myth and legend has come true in our time. One types the correct incantation on a keyboard, and a display screen comes to life, showing things that never were nor could be... The computer resembles the magic of legend in this respect, too. If one character, one pause, of the incantation is not strictly in proper form, the magic doesn’t work. Human beings are not accustomed to being perfect, and few areas of human activity demand it. Adjusting to the requirement for perfection is, I think, the most difficult part of learning to program  (Human Activity Quotes) When a pianist sits down and does a virtuoso performance he is in a technical sense transmitting more information to a machine than any other human activity involving machinery allows  (Human Activity Quotes) Modern technology has become a total phenomenon for civilization, the defining force of a new social order in which efficiency is no longer an option but a necessity imposed on all human activity  (Human Activity Quotes) Food, like sex, is one of the principal kinds of human activity that engage people when they wonder about how to account for different kinds of human behaviour  (Human Activity Quotes) Global warming is controversial, of course, but the controversy is mainly over whether human activity is driving it  (Human Activity Quotes) Science is not a heartless pursuit of objective information. It is a creative human activity, it's geniuses acting more as artists than as information processors  (Human Activity Quotes) Meditation is the only intentional, systematic human activity which at bottom is about not trying to improve yourself or get anywhere else, but simply to realize where you already are  (Human Activity Quotes) If a man made himself an expert in any particular branch of human activity, there would result the strong tendency that a peculiar aptitude towards the same branch would be found among some of his descendants  (Human Activity Quotes) Amour is the one human activity of any importance in which laughter and pleasure preponderate, if ever so slightly, over misery and pain  (Human Activity Quotes) In science, as in art, and, as I believe, in every other sphere of human activity, there may be wisdom in a multitude of counsellors, but it is only in one or two of them  (Human Activity Quotes) I feel like that religions generally ask the biggest questions. They may not always have the best answers, but they’re the zone of human activity that regularly asks the biggest questions  (Human Activity Quotes) Labor is work that leaves no trace behind it when it is finished, or if it does, as in the case of the tilled field, this product of human activity requires still more labor, incessant, tireless labor, to maintain its identity as a "work" of man  (Human Activity Quotes) Every human activity, whether it be love, philosophy, art, or revolution, is carried on with a special intensity in Paris  (Human Activity Quotes) Order generally was a product of human activity. Chaos existed as a raw material from which to create order  (Human Activity Quotes) There are always meaningful songs for somebody. People are doing their courting, people are finding their wives, people are making babies, people are washing their dishes, people are getting through the day, with songs that we may find insignificant. But their significance is affirmed by others. There’s always someone affirming the significance of a song by taking a woman into his arms or by getting through the night. That’s what dignifies the song. Songs don’t dignify human activity. Human activity dignifies the song  (Human Activity Quotes) There is a case for saying that the creation of new aesthetic forms has been the most fundamentally productive of all forms of human activity. Whoever creates new artistic conventions has found methods of interchange between people about matters which were incommunicable before. The capacity to do this has been the basis of the whole of human history  (Human Activity Quotes) It is the acquisition of skills in particular, irrespective of their utility, that is potent in making life meaningful. Since man has no inborn skills, the survival of the species has depended on the ability to acquire and perfect skills. Hence the mastery of skills is a uniquely human activity and yields deep satisfaction  (Human Activity Quotes) A nervous excitability, a chronic exaltation of the passion, in which commingle the inferior life of the individual and its exterior manifestations, a state in which sentiment, idea, and will are confounded together, where for the lack of the powerful corrective of logic, the flights of imagination know no bounds, where life and human activity are deprived of a regulator, and move outside of material and concrete factors, by the sole interior force of the soul  (Human Activity Quotes) War is the province of chance. in no other sphere of human activity must such a margin be left for this intruder. it increases the uncertainty of every circumstance and deranges the course of events  (Human Activity Quotes) It’s unlikely that any of those natural hazards will do us in within the next 100 years if we’ve already survived 100,000. By contrast, we are introducing, through human activity, entirely new types of dangers by developing powerful new technologies. We have no record of surviving those  (Human Activity Quotes) It’s not controversial to say that human activity is contributing in some way. The question is how serious that is  (Human Activity Quotes) Obsession is the single most wasteful human activity, because with an obsession you keep coming back and back and back to the same question and never get an answer  (Human Activity Quotes) People, workers, the elderly, all these people I see with sympathy and affection. These are the people who have fought the battle of life and who now and then show the hard work and the frustration... It’s all about human activity, it’s truth, and we all get there  (Human Activity Quotes) There is an ultimate wildness in all this, for the universe, as existence itself, is a terrifying as well as a benign mode of being. If it grants us amazing powers over much of its functioning we must always remember that any arrogance on our part will ultimately be called to account. The beginning of wisdom in any human activity is a certain reverence before the primordial mystery of existence, for the world about us is a fearsome mode of being. We do not judge the universe  (Human Activity Quotes) Leadership is not a formula or a program, it is a human activity that comes from the heart and considers the hearts of others. It is an attitude, not a routine  (Human Activity Quotes) Politics? Boring? Politics is history on the wing! What other sphere of human activity calls forth all that is most noble in men’s souls, and all that is most base? Or has such excitement? Or more vividly exposes our strengths and weaknesses? Boring? You might as well say that life itself is boring!  (Human Activity Quotes)
