I just don't ACCEPT midgets as HUMAN BEINGS. There's only so MUCH POLITICAL correctness I can accept.

My PARENTS REGARDED school teachers as higher beings, as did MANY immigrants.

'Moonlight' undoes our expectations as viewers, and as human beings, too. As we watch, another movie PLAYS in our minds: real-life footage of the MANY forms of damage done to BLACK MEN, which can sometimes lead them to turn that HATEFUL madness on their own kind, passing on the poison that was their inheritance.

Pessimists are the PEOPLE who have no hope for themselves or for others. Pessimists are also people who THINK the human race is BENEATH their notice, that they're better than other human beings.

I REALLY believe that, as HUMAN beings, we have an innate NEED to explore, to SEE what's AROUND the corner.

Even though everybody's LIVES are different, in GENERAL we're all human beings, and we go through the same things: DISAPPOINTMENTS, the pleasures of life, life and DEATH. That's ALWAYS been a really big part of the show to me, making sure the audience feels connected, and that carries through to the album.

At its best, what art does is, it POINTS to who we as human beings and what we as human beings value. And if BLACK Lives Matter, they DESERVE to be in paintings.

Telling your STORY out LOUD is the WAY human beings COMMUNICATE. We don't normally think up words, translate how to spell them and then move our fingers up and down over this randomly arranged SET of keys to make the same letters appear on a screen.

The microgravity or the very, very low amount of GRAVITY that we have up in space forces some CHANGES in DIFFERENT processes. It forces changes in us as human beings.

Life on earth is such a good story you cannot afford to MISS the beginning... BENEATH our superficial DIFFERENCES we are all of us WALKING communities of bacteria. The world shimmers, a pointillist landscape MADE of tiny living beings.

I feel very lucky to have grown up having interaction with adults who were making change but who were far from PERFECT BEINGS. That feeling of not being paralyzed by your INCREDIBLE inadequacy as a HUMAN being, which I feel every day, is a part of the legacy that I've gotten from so many of the adult ELDERS.

Human BEINGS have a lot of problems identifying themselves with other human beings who don't RESEMBLE them exactly. But there's something about drawing that MEANS that anyone can identify to a drawing. I mean, people can identify themselves with Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse.

People complain not because something SUCKS. People complain because they're looking for EMPATHY and to FEEL connected with those around them. Unfortunately, complaining is maybe the least USEFUL way to connect with other human beings.

However, further research has SHOWN that it is the normal CONDITION for humans and for most other mammals. It SEEMS pretty clear why this is the CASE for most mammals and for most HUMAN beings.

FIND a beautiful piece of art. If you FALL in love with Van Gogh or Matisse or John Oliver Killens, or if you fall love with the music of Coltrane, the music of Aretha Franklin, or the music of Chopin - find some beautiful art and admire it, and REALIZE that that was created by human beings just like you, no more human, no LESS.
