Notable quotes

“[AI] gets at the essence of what intelligence is, what humanity is, Anybody who has worked with AI for a while…realize[s] this is something so different and so deep that, we would need societal regulations to think about how to adapt... the most profound technology humanity is working on. More profound than fire or electricity or anything that we've done in the past.”

“You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.”
— Mahatma Gandhi, Gandhi: His Life and Message for the World (1954), by Louis Fischer, p. 177
“the plea of humanity is lost by going through the process of law, the firm and manly tone of principle is exchanged for the wavering and pitiful cant of policy, the living bursts of passion are reduced to a defunct common-place, and all true imagination is buried under the dust and rubbish of learned models and imposing authorities.”
— The Spirit of the Age (1830) by William Hazlitt
“Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made.”
— Immanuel Kant, Idea for a General History with a Cosmopolitan Purpose (1784), Proposition 6.
“Superman stands alone. Superman did not become Superman, Superman was born Superman. When Superman wakes up in the morning, he is Superman. His alter ego Clark Kent is how Superman views us. And what are the characteristics of Clark Kent? He's weak. He's unsure of himself. He's a coward. Clark Kent is Superman's critique on the whole human race.”
— Quentin Tarantino, Kill Bill: Volume 2 (2004)
“I can see no hope for humanity so long as one's right to live depends upon one's ability to pay the cost of living imposed by those who exploit our daily needs.”
— Art Young: His Life and Times (1939)
