Who said “The Goddamn human race deserves itself, and as far as I'm concerned it can have it.”?

“The end of the human race will be that it will eventually die of civilization.”

“One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man.”

“No man really knows about other human beings. The best he can do is to suppose that they are like himself.”

“Man is more interesting than men. God made him and not them in his image. Each one is more precious than all.”

“It's funny. All you have to do is say something nobody understands and they'll do practically anything you want them to.”

“Like their personal lives, women's history is fragmented, interrupted; a shadow history of human beings whose existence has been shaped by the efforts and the demands of others.”

“Growing up human is uniquely a matter of social relations rather than biology. What we learn from connections within the family takes the place of instincts that program the behavior of animals; which raises the question, how good are these connections?”

“I admire people who are suited to the contemplative life, but I am not one of them. They can sit inside themselves like honey in a jar and just be. It's wonderful to have someone like that around, you always feel you can count on them. You can go away and come back, you can change your mind and your hairdo and your politics, and when you get through doing all these upsetting things, you look around and there they are, just the way they were, just being.”
