Promises are the uniquely human way of ordering the future, making it predictable and reliable to the extent that this is humanly possible.

We must welcome the future, remembering that soon it will be the past; and we must respect the past, remembering that it was once all that was humanly possible.

Campaign behavior for wives: Always be on time. Do as little talking as humanly possible. Lean back in the parade car so everybody can see the president.

I'd spent so much of the past seven years living my life in a blur, trying to cram as much as humanly possible into a day. I'd missed out on so much in the process, like having dear girlfriends. It wasn't until you knew something was about to end that you realized how fortunate you were to have had it in the first place.

The root of humanly caused evil is not man's animal nature, not territorial aggression, or innate selfishness, but our need to gain self-esteem, deny our mortality, and achieve a heroic self-image. Our desire for the best is the cause of the worst.

Last night I wept. I wept because the process by which I have become woman was painful. I wept because I was no longer a child with a child's blind faith. I wept because my eyes were opened to reality....I wept because I could not believe anymore and I love to believe. I can still love passionately without believing. That means I love humanly. I wept because I have lost my pain and I am not yet accustomed to its absence.

Form your life humanly and you have done enough: but you will never reach the height of art and the depth of science without something divine.

I just believe that the feeling of wonder is amazing. I am pushing myself as far as I can humanly push myself... I can only hope for the best and expect the worse.
