Two things are infinite the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe
Albert Einstein – Human Stupidity
So far as we are human, what we do must be either evil or good: so far as we do evil or good, we are human: and it is better, in a paradoxical way, to do evil than to do nothing: at least we exist.
T.S. Eliot – Human, Society
For a novelist, a given historic situation is an anthropologic laboratory in which he explores his basic question: What is human existence?
