For Aristotle, goodness is a kind of prospering in the precarious affair of being human.

Virtue is something you have to get good at, like playing the trombone or tolerating bores at parties. Being a virtuous human being takes practice; and those who are brilliant at being human (what Christians call the saints) are the virtuosi of the moral sphere - the Pavarottis and Maradonas of virtue.

Every human being I know craves love and affection.

We are either going to dissolve as a human race or we are going to break through into a new understanding of what it is to be a human being.

We want every human being in the womb to be safe, not have these babies be killed to solve some dilemma.

A human being is a deciding being.
