Being a human being
--in the sense of being born to the human species--
must be defined also in terms of becoming a human being...
a baby is only potentially a human being,
and must grow into humaness
in the society and the culture, the family.
--Abraham H. Maslow

in the mind, in the heart, and in the flesh.

I am the family face; flesh perishes, I live on,

Thomas Hardy 1840-1928
_____________________________________________________________________________
Celebrity is a mask that eats into the face.
As soon as one is aware of being somebody,
to be watched and listened to with extra interest,
input ceases,
and the performer goes blind and deaf
in his over animation.
One can either see or be seen.
-- John Updike

Bertrand Russell
(G. H. Hardy reports a nightmare once experienced
by Bertrand Russell. In his dream he found himself
on the top floor of a great library in about AD 2100.)
"A library assistant was going around the shelves
carrying an enormous bucket,
taking down book after book, glancing at them,
restoring them to the shelves or dumping them
into the bucket.
At last he came to three large volumes
which Russell could recognize
as the last surviving copy of Principia Mathematica.
He took down one of the volumes,
turned over a few pages,
seemed puzzled for a moment by the curious symbolism, closed the volume, balanced it in his hands
and hesitated ..."

Henry David Thoreau
Thoreau's A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers did not sell.
Eventually his publisher, who needed the space, wrote to ask Thoreau how he should dispose of the remaining copies.
Thoreau asked that they be sent to him
-- 706 copies out of the edition of 1,000.
When they arrived and were safely stowed away, Thoreau noted
in his journal, "I now have a library of nearly nine hundred volumes,
over seven hundred of which I wrote myself."

After she had chosen one, Beaton suggested that he could have

The Queen Mother rejected the proposal.
"I would not want it to be thought that I had lived for all these years without having anything to show for it," she explained.

Mahatma Gandhi
As Gandhi stepped aboard a train one day,
one of his shoes slipped off and landed on the track.
He was unable to retrieve it as the train was moving.
To the amazement of his companions,
Gandhi calmly took off his other shoe
and threw it back along the track
to land close to the first.
Asked by a fellow passenger why he did so,
Gandhi smiled.
"The poor man who finds the shoe lying on the track,"
he replied, "will now have a pair he can use."
