Famous quotes containing the words human and/or factors:

    The gods of the earth and sea
    Sought through nature to find this tree.
    But their search was all in vain:
    There grows one in the human brain.
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    I always knew I wanted to be somebody. I think that’s where it begins. People decide, “I want to be somebody. I want to make a contribution. I want to leave my mark here.” Then different factors contribute to how you will do that.
    Faith Ringgold (b. 1934)
