We talk about you know diet and that we shouldn't give our kids big things and obesity and fast food. Well you know there are people who don't have that problem because they're not getting any food! We have so many deep problems and issues facing humanity.

I believe that his death and resurrection transformed humanity's relationship with God.

It is not tolerable it is not possible that from so much death so much sacrifice and ruin so much heroism a greater and better humanity shall not emerge.

Only a humanity to whom death has become as indifferent as its members that has itself died can inflict it administratively on innumerable people.

Death is really a great blessing for humanity without it there could be no real progress. People who lived for ever would not only hamper and discourage the young but they would themselves lack sufficient stimulus to be creative.

Humanity should question itself once more about the absurd and always unfair phenomenon of war on whose stage of death and pain only remain standing the negotiating table that could and should have prevented it.

I'm a writer of faith who worries about the intolerance of religion. I look at the past and fear we haven't learned from it. I believe that humanity is capable of evil as well as great acts of courage and goodness. I have hope. Deep down I believe in the human spirit although sometimes that belief is shaken.

Ron Howard is as good a person as you could want to work with on film. He never lost his cool. He's the most easygoing lovely man but he's got this enormous intelligence and a wonderful humanity.

Personally I rather look forward to a computer program winning the world chess championship. Humanity needs a lesson in humility.

Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that once it is competently programmed and working smoothly it is completely honest.
