Humanity Quotes
-
As far as I am concerned, I resign from humanity. I no longer want to be, nor can still be, a man. What should I do? Work for a social and political system, make a girl miserable? Hunt for weaknesses in philosophical systems, fight for moral and esthetic ideals? It’s all too little. I renounce my humanity even though I may find myself alone. But am I not already alone in this world from which I no longer expect anything?
Emil Cioran

Humanity has always had a nostalgia for the freedom that is only beauty, that is only real; life, plenitude, light.
Eugene Ionesco
