“The major flaw with human beings is that despite all our cleverness and ingenuity we both tell and believe lies.”

“Despite all philosophical differences, all major world religions have the same potential to create good human beings.”

“Libertarians (like anarchists and Marxists) generally believe that human nature is good, though damaged by certain social institutions. Conservatives, on the contrary, hold that "in Adam's fall we sinned all": human nature, though compounded of both good and evil, is irremediably flawed; so the perfection of society is impossible, all human beings being imperfect.”

“Where the myth fails, human love begins. Then we love a human being, not our dream, but a human being with flaws.”

“humans are born in truth, but we grow up believing in lies. one of the biggest lies in the story of humanity is the lie of our imperfection.”

“I am a flawed human being - a far more flawed human being than yourealize.”
