Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a quote about seeking human honour and respect?
Yes, one quote expresses this as a kind of utopian wish: "Perhaps I seek certain utopian things, space for human honour and respect, landscapes not yet offended, planets that do not exist yet, dreamed landscapes." For more reflections on what it means to exist, see our Being quotes.
Is there a quote about human beings changing and growing over time?
Yes, one quote states: "As human beings we do change, grow, adapt, perhaps even learn and become wiser." For more directly on this theme, see our Human Being quotes.
Is there a quote about finding happiness outside of consumption?
Yes, one quote argues: "There are other ways of finding satisfaction, recipes for human happiness, enjoyment, dignified and meaningful, gratifying life, than increased consumption that increases production." For more on this idea, see our Life quotes.

Broader reflections on identity and existence continue on our Being and Life pages, both natural extensions of this theme.
