Human Experience

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or experience:

“You may call a jay a bird. Well, so he is, in a measure—because he’s got feathers on him, and don’t belong to no church, perhaps; but otherwise he is just as much a human as you be. And I’ll tell you for why. A jay’s gifts and instincts, and feelings, and interests, cover the whole ground. A jay hasn’t got any more principle than a Congressman.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

“Emigration, forced or chosen, across national frontiers or from village to metropolis, is the quintessential experience of our time.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
