• Studying whether there's life on Mars or studying how the universe began, there's something magical about pushing back the frontiers of knowledge. That's something that is almost part of being human, and I'm certain that will continue.

• No hay soledad insuperable. Todos los caminos conducen a la misma meta: transmitir a los demás lo que somos. Y debemos pasar por la soledad y la dificultad, el aislamiento y el silencio para llegar al lugar encantado donde podemos bailar nuestra danza torpe y cantar nuestra canción dolorosa - pero en esta danza o en esta canción se cumplen los ritos más antiguos de nuestra conciencia en la conciencia de ser humanos y de creer en un destino común.

  Pablo Neruda

• In a revolutionary age talk of equality may well have represented a passion to provide full human dignity to those who had previously been denied it by systems of political and economic domination; but in the present age it softens the spiritual requirements that are an essential ingredient in human dignity. Thus the slogans of equality serve not so much to elevate individuals to the dignity of being human as to free them from the responsibility of rising to this vocation.

• Heartbreak is our indication of sincerity: in a love relationship, in a work, in trying to learn a musical instrument, in the attempt to shape a better more generous self. Heartbreak is the beautifully helpless side of love and affection and is just as much an essence and emblem of care as the spiritual athlete's quick but abstract ability to let go... But heartbreak may be the very essence of being human, of being on the journey from here to there, and of coming to care deeply for what we find along the way.

• In her presence, I was reminded again of why I was an anoretic: fear. Of my needs, for food, for sleep, for touch, for simple conversation, for human contact, for love. I was an anoretic because I was afraid of being human. Implicit in human contact is the exposure of the self, the interaction of the selves. The self I'd had, once upon a time, was too much. Now there was no self at all. I was a blank.

• Dios exige que asistamos a los animales cuando necesitan nuestra ayuda. Cada ser (humano o criatura) tiene el mismo derecho de protección.

• If we are defined by reason and morality, then reason and morality must define our choices, even when animals are concerned. When people say, for example, that they like their veal or hot dogs too much to ever give them up, and yeah it's sad about the farms but that's just the way it is, reason hears in that the voice of gluttony. We can say that what makes a human being human is precisely the ability to understand that the suffering of an animal is more important than the taste of a treat.

• Día y noche se había esforzado, luchado y entregado en cuerpo y alma a su trabajo, y no le quedaba mucho para nada más. Como era humana, sufría esta carencia y hacía lo que podía para compensarla. Si pasaba la tarde inclinada sobre una mesa en la biblioteca y más tarde declaraba que había pasado ese tiempo jugando a las cartas, era como si hubiera conseguido hacer ambas cosas. A través de las mentiras, vivía indirectamente. Las mentiras duplicaban lo poco de su existencia que le quedaba del trabajo y aumentaban el pequeño final de trapo de su vida personal.

  Carson McCullers

• But the dignity of human life is unbreakably linked to the existence of the personal-infinite God. It is because there is a personal-infinite God who has made men and women in His own image that they have a unique dignity of life as human beings. Human life then is filled with dignity, and the state and humanistically oriented law have no right and no authority to take human life arbitrarily in the way it is being taken.

  Francis Schaeffer

• Virtue is something you have to get good at, like playing the trombone or tolerating bores at parties. Being a virtuous human being takes practice; and those who are brilliant at being human (what Christians call the saints) are the virtuosi of the moral sphere - the Pavarottis and Maradonas of virtue.
