Humanity is a comic role.
NovalisHumanity is the higher meaning of our planet, the nerve that connects this part of it with the upper world, the eye it raises to heaven.
NovalisThe artist stands on the human being as a statue does on a pedestal.
NovalisChaos was the law of nature; Order was the dream of man.
Henry AdamsBut then every man is ludicrous if you look at him from outside, without taking into account what’s going on in his heart and mind.

Love is not an emotion. It is your very existence.

Oh, wearisome condition of humanity,
Born under one law, to another bound;
Vainly begot, and yet forbidden vanity,
Created sick, commanded to be sound.
I don't see what's so triffic about creating people as people and then gettin' upset 'cos they act like people.
Terry PratchettTags: humanity
The case for the humanities is not hard to make, though it can be difficult--to such an extent have we been marginalized, so long have we acceded to that marginalization--not to sound either defensive or naive. The humanities, done right, are the crucible in which our evolving notions of what it means to be fully human are put to the test; they teach us, incrementally, endlessly, not what to do, but how to be. Their method is confrontational, their domain unlimited, their "product" not truth but the reasoned search for truth, their "success" something very much like Frost's momentary stay against confusion.

Poor Old Ones! Scientists to the last -- what had they done that we would not have done in their place? God, what intelligence and persistence! What a facing of the incredible, just as those carven kinsmen and forbears had faced things only a little less incredible! Radiates, vegetables, monstrosities, star spawn -- whatever they had been, they were men!
