quotations about humanity
Humanity is the equity of the heart.
CONFUCIUS
attributed, Day's Collacon
The truth is ... that human beings have neither kindness, nor faith, nor charity beyond what serves to increase the pleasure of the moment. They hunt in packs. Their packs scour the desert and vanish screaming into the wilderness.
VIRGINIA WOOLF, Mrs. Dalloway
The immense majority of our species are candidates for humanity, and nothing more.
