“We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.”

All father same i guess...?
Dad makes no effort to see who his sons really are and never displays any feelings of affection or human dignity.

28-38 Mücadele Kanalı
İnatçılık, akla bir keçi görüntüsü getiren eski bir sözcüktür. Ama sizin için, sizi ve başkalarını, olasılıklar ya da muhalif güçler ne olursa olsun, adalet için mücadele etmeye ve düşüncelerinizi savunmaya teşvik eden bir armağandır. Sanki duyabileceğiniz en iyi şey, “Yapılamaz," ifadesidir. Hiçbir şey sizi bu söz kadar harekete geçirip imkansız göreve doğru koşmanızı sağlayamaz. Ve bu sırada kendi kendinize mırıldanırsınız: “Bekle ve gör.”
Doktorlar insan bedeninin kutsallığını aklınıza gelebilecek her şekilde ihlal eder. İnsanların en zayıf, en ürkütücü, en mahrem anlarına tanık olurlar. İnsanin dünyaya geldiği ana da eşlik ederler, hayata veda ettiği ana da! Madalyonun bir yüzünde insanın çektiği ıstırabı dindirme çabası vardır, diğerinde ise bedeni bir nesne ya da mekanizına olarak görme eğilimi.
Doctors invade the body in every way imaginable. They see people at their most vulnerable, their most scared, their most private. They escort them into the world and then back out. Seeing the body as matter and mechanism is the flip side to easing the most profound human suffering.

‘The proles are not human beings,’ he said carelessly. ‘By 2050—earlier, probably—all real knowledge of Oldspeak will have disappeared. The whole literature of the past will have been destroyed. Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Byron— they’ll exist only in Newspeak versions, not merely changed into something different, but actually changed into something contradictory of what they used to be.

Who Joins Cults? - The "Not Me" Myth
People like to think their opinions, values, and ideas are inviolate and totally self-regulated. They may grudgingly admit that they're influenced slightly by advertising. Beyond that, they want to preserve the myth that other people are weak-minded and easily influenced while they are strong-minded. Even though we all know human minds are open to influence —whether or not that is a comfortable thought—most of us defensively and haughtily proclaim, "Only crazy, stupid, needy people join cults. No one could ever get me to commit suicide or beat my kids or give my wife over to a cult leader. No one could ever talk me into anything like that."
As I hear people say that, I silently ask, " You want to bet?"

Hiç sevmediğim erkek tipi..
It was on two legs, like a human. But it was taller than any human. It was covered with fur - long dark fur. It had gigantic paws and horrible long ears. But the worst thing was the face, the horrible, ugly face. It had eyes like a wolf, and two big horns. The face was angry and fierce, and the voice - oh, the voice! The words of a human, but the sound of a wild lion.
Neye dönüşmek istiyoruz? Human Enhancement [İnsan Geliştirme] sorusu olarak da bilinen bu soru şu anda siyasetçileri, filozofları, akademisyenleri ve sıradan insanları meşgul eden tüm tartışmaları önemsiz kılıyor. En nihayetinde, günümüzün dinler, ideolojiler, uluslar ve sınıflar arasındaki tartışmaları Homo sapiens'le birlikte yok olacak. Bizden sonra gelenler gerçekten farklı bir bilinç seviyesinde olurlarsa (veya bilincin ötesinde, bizim şu an algılayamadığımız bir şeylere sahip olurlarsa) Hıristiyanlığın veya İslamın onlara ilginç gelmesi, toplumsal örgütlenmelerinin komünist veya kapitalist olması veya cinsiyetlerinin erkek ve dişi olmasıihtimali çok düşüktür
Human in Marx
For Marx, crucially, if we analyse people in relation to their socail and historical material context, we can come to discern the role of various structural forces and oppressions inherent within the modern system of capitalist economics and in the ''bourgeois democratic'' governance attached to it.

“The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either but right through every human heart, and through all human hearts."
"İyi ile kötüyü ayıran çizgi devletler arasından değil; sınıflar arasından değil; siyasi partiler arasından değil, sadece insanın kalbinden ve tüm insanların kalbinden geçer."
Alexander Solzhenitsyn
What would happen if all the other human species be alive ?
“Imagine how things might have turned out had the Neanderthals or Denisovans survived alongside Homo sapiens. What kind of cultures, societies and political structures would have emerged in a world where several different human species coexisted? How, for example, would religious faiths have unfolded? Would the book of Genesis have declared that Neanderthals descend from Adam and Eve, would Jesus have died for the sins of the Denisovans, and would the Qur’an have reserved seats in heaven for all righteous humans, whatever their species? Would Neanderthals have been able to serve in the Roman legions, or in the sprawling bureaucracy of imperial China? Would the American Declaration of Independence hold as a self-evident truth that all members of the genus Homo are created equal? Would Karl Marx have urged workers of all species to unite?”
