Dean Koontz Humanity Quotations

The recognition of pain and fear in others give rise in us to pity, and in our pity is our humanity, our redemption.

Pain is a gift. Humanity, without pain, would know neither fear nor pity.

Humanity was drawn to turmoil and self-destruction as inevitably as the earth was drawn to complete its annual revolution of the sun.

When I am battered and oppressed by the world that humanity has made - which is difference from the world that is was given - my primary defense, my consolation, is the absurdity of that world

You know what's wrong with humanity?... The greatest gift we were given is our free will, and we keep misusing it.

...he was part of a family whether he wanted to be or not, the family of humanity, more often than not a frustrating and contentious clan, flawed and often deeply confused, but also periodically noble and admirable, with a common destiny that every member shared.

Humanity is a parade of fools, and I am at the front of it, twirling a baton.

The most identifying trait of humanity is our abilty to be inhumane to one another.

I am my own worst enemy. This, more than any other trait, proves my fundamental humanity.
