Literature is humanity's broad-minded alter-ego, with room in its heart for monsters, even for you. It's humanity without the judgement.

Glen Duncan

Individually, men may present a more or less rational appearance, eating, sleeping, and scheming. But humanity as a whole is changeful, mystical, fickle, delightful. Men are men, but Man is a woman.

G. K. Chesterton

In a perfect literature all books should be only a single book, and in such an eternally developing book, the gospel of humanity and culture will be revealed.

Friedrich Schlegel

I'm always watching people over a short time frame, putting them in an extreme position. Sometimes you don't see the humanity in a person because the time frame is so short and the circumstance so extreme.

Irvine Welsh

I see the Fourfold Man the Humanity in deadly sleep, And its fallen Emanation, the Spectre and its cruel Shadow. I see the Past, Present, and Future existing all at once Before me.

William Blake
