But really, they did it because every human being has a basic instinct to help each other out. It might not seem that way sometimes, but it's true. ~ Andy Weir
Basic Instinct quotes by Andy Weir
I think about the sheer number of people who pulled together just to save my sorry ass, and I can barely comprehend it. My crewmates sacrificed a year of their lives to come back for me. Countless people at NASA worked day and night to invent rover and MAV modifications. All of JPL busted their asses to make a probe that was destroyed on launch. Then, instead of giving up, they made another probe to resupply Hermes. The China National Space Administration abandoned a project they'd worked on for years just to provide a booster.
The cost for my survival must have been hundreds of millions of dollar. All to save one dorky botanist. Why bother?
Well, okay. I know the answer to that. Part of it might be what I represent: progress, science, and the interplanetary future we've dreamed of for centuries. But really, they did it because every human being has a basic instinct to help each other out. It might not seem that way sometimes, but it's true.
If a hiker gets lost in the mountains, people will coordinate a search. If a train crashes, people will line up to give blood. If an earthquake levels a city, people all over the world will send emergency supplies. This is so fundamentally human that it's found in every culture without exception. Yes, there are assholes who just don't care, but they're massively outnumbered by the people who do. And because of that, I had billions of people on my side.
Pretty cool, eh? ~ Andy Weir
Basic Instinct quotes by Andy Weir
I was thinking about doing another film at the same time, which was the sequel to Basic Instinct and I just had a feeling that wasn't going to happen. You know, I just kind of read the writing on the wall. ~ Bruce Greenwood
Basic Instinct quotes by Bruce Greenwood
They ignored her because of their headphones, a thousand people marching to fifteen hundred different drummers, effectively secluded but for a very basic instinct not to bump into one another. Those that were unplugged rushed from place to place and were never actually anywhere other than somewhere else. ~ Thomm Quackenbush
Basic Instinct quotes by Thomm Quackenbush
Technology will never last if it ignores human beings' basic instinct to express and discover through expression. ~ Lemn Sissay
Basic Instinct quotes by Lemn Sissay
Human activity is destroying the natural systems that we depend upon for our survival. Our most basic instinct as humans is to survive; yet we continue to destroy our life-support machine. Connected humans understand this terrible contradiction; disconnected humans are not able to.

Not all humans are responsible: just those who are part of Industrial Civilization. Industrial Civilization depends on economic growth and the unsustainable use of natural resources, so it has developed a complex set of tools for keeping people disconnected from the real world and living a life that keeps civilization running. Humans have been manipulated in order to be part of a destructive system.

The only way to prevent global ecological collapse and thus ensure the survival of humanity is to rid the world of Industrial Civilization. ~ Keith Farnish
Basic Instinct quotes by Keith Farnish
Women are smarter by basic instinct and by what we have to do to multitask at home and at work. My mother did that 50 years ago, but it wasn't called multitasking or stress back then. She had a job, two kids and the meals to make with no cook or maid. My father would come home every day and expect lunch. He was a nice guy, but he was clueless! ~ Mireille Guiliano
Basic Instinct quotes by Mireille Guiliano
I find that whoever you are as a person is how you're gonna fight, and every basic instinct kind of comes out at that moment. ~ Gina Carano
Basic Instinct quotes by Gina Carano
There are apparently two hypotheses about jealousy: that it is a product of civilization and that it is a basic instinct of animals. ~ Kobo Abe
Basic Instinct quotes by Kobo Abe
It felt like I'd been playing second-string football for a long time, when, suddenly, I was playing in the Super Bowl. Even when 'Basic Instinct' was a hit, I still felt like I was running with that ball toward the end zone. It took awhile for me to realize that I was already in the end zone with the ball down and the crowd screaming on its feet. ~ Sharon Stone
Basic Instinct quotes by Sharon Stone
Don't you know what a pussy is, sir?'

'Of course he doesn't. He hasn't even seen Basic Instinct. ~ Jonathan Coe
Basic Instinct quotes by Jonathan Coe
Regardless of all our pretenses, deep within, we are still unconsciously the same old cave-people. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Basic Instinct quotes by Abhijit Naskar
Blame your body. The whole biological purpose of existence is to mate, so from the time we hit puberty, our hormones are demanding us to couple up. Maybe it's basic instinct to feel inadequate if you're single."
"That's what sucks. There's so many more interesting things than guys, but guys are what we spend most of our time talking about."
"I think that's just the way it is, though. No matter what we do, it's always more special if there's a boyfriend to share it with."
"Or a best friend. ~ Daria Snadowsky
Basic Instinct quotes by Daria Snadowsky
To be hopeful, to embrace one possibility after another that is surely the basic instinct - crying out: High tide! Time to move out into the glorious debris. Time to take this life for what it is! ~ Barbara Kingsolver
Basic Instinct quotes by Barbara Kingsolver
Without intuitive and instinctual knowledge, animals and human beings could not endure. All animals possess the basic instinct for survival, and their instinctual behavior exhibits many traits of advance planning. All animals prepare for future contingencies such as changing seasons and the birth of their young. They also know when they are ill and make advance arrangements for their demise. Human survival frequently calls for us to be true to our animal instincts. Organized impulses rule all animals including human beings because they ensure self-preservation and continuation of the species. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Basic Instinct quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
Homes should mean something to us humans. They are a basic instinct. A home, with a life that centers only on food and sleep, is not really a home, it's a house. Beauty and graciousness, joy of living, being used in every part, these are the things that make a house a home. (chapter header quote from Popular Home Decorations, 1940) ~ Ellen Baker
Basic Instinct quotes by Ellen Baker
Engineering is a basic instinct in man, the expression of which is existentially fulfilling. ~ Samuel Florman
Basic Instinct quotes by Samuel Florman
I had decided after 'Hollow Man' to stay away from science fiction. I felt I had done so much science fiction. Four of the six movies I made in Hollywood are science-fiction oriented, and even 'Basic Instinct' is kind of science fiction. ~ Paul Verhoeven
Basic Instinct quotes by Paul Verhoeven
Improv requires one thing I lack that I think most mothers need - the basic instinct to put someone else first. ~ Jen Kirkman
Basic Instinct quotes by Jen Kirkman
Our most basic instinct is not for survival but for family. Most of us would give our own life for the survival of a family member, yet we lead our daily life too often as if we take our family for granted. ~ Paul Pearsall
Basic Instinct quotes by Paul Pearsall
Human beings are very skilled at pretending they are not what they are, and ignoring what is inside them. This includes ignoring their natural instincts, their primal instincts, because they have this notion that they are evolving faster than other life, have evolved further, and are therefore superior. Take racism for example. As abhorrent as people may consider it, human beings are essentially tribal, and racism is simply a survival instinct embedded deep inside us, born from thousands of years of survival and experience. ~ Robert Black
Basic Instinct quotes by Robert Black
You see a picture and you understand perfectly, immediately, the basic thing that's happening. It's probably more accessible because we are in a culture of images. People are used to seeing stories that way. They understand looking at pictures. ~ Marjane Satrapi
Basic Instinct quotes by Marjane Satrapi
The greatest shortage in our society is an instinct to produce. To create solutions and hustle them out the door. To touch the humanity inside and connect to the humans in the marketplace. ~ Seth Godin
Basic Instinct quotes by Seth Godin
Trust your instincts, and make judgements on what your heart tells you. The heart will not betray you. ~ David Gemmell
Basic Instinct quotes by David Gemmell
Creativity is secondary, meditation is basic and fundamental; everything should come out of your meditation. Then it will give you a beatitude, your being a new song, and it will help others to experience something of it. It will depend on their meditativeness. ~ Rajneesh
Basic Instinct quotes by Rajneesh
There seems to be a human instinct for prayer. Swiss theologian Karl Barth calls it our 'incurable God-sickness.' ~ Timothy Keller
Basic Instinct quotes by Timothy Keller
One is in a state of hope because the basic physiological feeling is once again strong and rich; one trusts in God because the feeling of fullness and strength gives a sense of rest. Morality and religion belong entirely to the psychology of error: in every single case, cause and effect are confused; or truth is confused with the effects of believing something to be true; or a state of consciousness is confused with its physiological origins. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Basic Instinct quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
I want to teach the post basic moves: turn and bank; drop-step and shoot a power layup; turn to the middle, pump-fake, one-bounce layup; and I want to teach five power moves. They are power layup straight up; pump-fake one bounce to the other side power layup; pogo when you catch it up high, keep it up high, and shoot it; and then the two-hand follow shot. ~ Jim Harrick
Basic Instinct quotes by Jim Harrick
It is a testament to the fundamental honesty of football that Israel, with nothing to play for, overcame Russia in Tel Aviv on Saturday. The sport has its faults, but this basic trust is the reason Wembley holds 80,000 and could take more and the track and field venue for the London Olympics will be reduced after the event to the same capacity as the home of Wigan Athletic. ~ Martin Samuel
Basic Instinct quotes by Martin Samuel
Americans want to defeat terrorism and they want the basic character of this country to survive and prosper. They want both security and liberty, and unless we give them both - and we can if we try - we have failed. ~ Russ Feingold
Basic Instinct quotes by Russ Feingold
If an economy is to sustain progress, it must satisfy the basic principles of ecology. If it does not, it will decline and eventually collapse. There is no middle ground ~ Lester R. Brown
Basic Instinct quotes by Lester R. Brown
The body maintains balance in only a handful of ways. At the end of the day, disease occurs when these basic systems are out of whack. ~ Mark Hyman
Basic Instinct quotes by Mark Hyman
We use the Air Force analogy: there were expensive things they had to do to get a cockpit suitable for a lot of pilots, like wraparound windshields, but their initial solutions, when they realized average didn't work, were adjustable seats. How in the world did they not already have adjustable seats in their planes? We're looking for adjustable seats for education, for basic things that we can do. ~ L. Todd Rose
Basic Instinct quotes by L. Todd Rose
There are three basic principles behind any well-designed product: truth, humanity, and simplicity. ~ Sohrab Vossoughi
Basic Instinct quotes by Sohrab Vossoughi
Language as communication has three aspects or elements. There first what Karl Marx once called the language of real life, the element basic to the whole notion of language, its origins and development: that is, the relations people enter into with one another in the labour process, the links they necessarily establish among themselves in the act of a people, a community of human beings, producing wealth or means of life like food, clothing, houses. A human community really starts its historical being as a community of co-operation in production through the division of labour; the simplest is between man, woman and child within a household; the more complex divisions are between branches of production such as those who are sole hunters, sole gatherers of fruits or sole workers in metal. Then there are the most complex divisions such as those in modern factories where a single product, say a shirt or a shoe, is the result of many hands and minds. Production is co-operation, is communication, is language, is expression of a relation between human beings and it is specifically human. ~ Ngugi Wa Thiongo
Basic Instinct quotes by Ngugi Wa Thiongo
The more the poet grows, the deeper the level of creative intuition descends into the density of his soul. Where formerly he could be moved to song, he can do nothing now, he must dig deeper. ~ Jacques Maritain
Basic Instinct quotes by Jacques Maritain
THINGS HAVE ENDS AND BEGINNINGS Cloud mountains rise over mountain range. Silence and quietness, sky bright as water, sky bright as lake water. Grace is the instinct for knowing when to stop. And where. ~ Charles Wright
Basic Instinct quotes by Charles Wright
The basic paradox about sex is that it always seems to be offering more than it can deliver. A glimpse of a girl undressing through a lighted bedroom window induces a vision of ecstatic delight, but in the actual process of persuading the girl into bed, the vision somehow evaporates. ~ Colin Wilson
Basic Instinct quotes by Colin Wilson
Trust your own instinct. Your mistakes might as well be your own, instead of someone else's. ~ Billy Wilder
Basic Instinct quotes by Billy Wilder
The diversity of mankind is a basic postulate of our knowledge of human beings. But if mankind is diverse and individuated, then how can anyone propose equality as an ideal? Every year, scholars hold Conferences on Equality and call for greater equality, and no one challenges the basic tenet. But what justification can equality find in the nature of man? If each individual is unique, how else can he be made 'equal' to others than by destroying most of what is human in him and reducing human society to the mindless uniformity of the ant heap? ~ Murray Rothbard
Basic Instinct quotes by Murray Rothbard
the most basic level of commitment by a Christian to his church is surprisingly substantial. ~ Mark Dever
Basic Instinct quotes by Mark Dever
I find my dress sense tends to be a bit of a mixture between high fashion and unique vintage pieces with a little bit of street trends. For example, I might find a really nice, suede dinner jacket that I'd wear with a basic plain white shirt and some chinos and a pair of Nike trainers. ~ Tinie Tempah
Basic Instinct quotes by Tinie Tempah
Well? Children sometimes steal. Beat them a little, and they stop stealing. Basic education ~ Terry Pratchett
Basic Instinct quotes by Terry Pratchett
It is clear that something is seriously lacking in the way we humans are going about things. But what is it that we lack? The fundamental problem, I believe, is that at every level we are giving too much attention to the external, material aspects of life while neglecting moral ethics and inner values. By inner values, I mean the qualities that we all appreciate in others, and toward which we all have a natural instinct, bequeathed by our biological nature as animals that survive and thrive only in an environment of concern, affection, and warm-heartedness-or in a single word, compassion. The essence of compassion is a desire to alleviate the suffering of others and to promote their well-being. This is the spiritual principle from which all other positive inner value emerge. ~ Dalai Lama XIV
Basic Instinct quotes by Dalai Lama XIV
There are many reasons for increased spending on health care, including an aging population, technological change, perverse incentives, supply-induced demand, and fear of malpractice litigation. The broader point is that the basic underlying problem does not entail misbehavior or incompetence but rather stems from the nature of the provision of labor-intensive services. ~ William J. Baumol
Basic Instinct quotes by William J. Baumol
At home, I warm milk, stir in two teaspoons of honey, and drink it in a teacup. It's so basic yet pure; I love it. ~ Daniel Humm
Basic Instinct quotes by Daniel Humm
Every select man strives instinctively for a citadel and a privacy, where he is FREE from the crowd, the many, the majority
where he may forget "men who are the rule," as their exception;
exclusive only of the case in which he is pushed straight to such men by a still stronger instinct, as a discerner in the great and exceptional sense. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Basic Instinct quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Only when we are able to free the oppressed and heal those suffering from the curse of sickness can we really preach Christ's basic message: The Kingdom of God is at hand and the kingdom of Satan is being destroyed. ~ Francis S. MacNutt
Basic Instinct quotes by Francis S. MacNutt
A lady is smarter than a gentleman, maybe, she can sew a fine seam, she can have a baby, she can use her intuition instead of her brain, but she can't fold a paper in a crowded train. ~ Phyllis McGinley
Basic Instinct quotes by Phyllis McGinley
It's important to every American that the law protect his or her basic liberty. ~ Stephen Breyer
Basic Instinct quotes by Stephen Breyer
It [Christian Social Party] recognized the value of large-scale propaganda and was a virtuoso in influencing the psychological instincts of the broad masses of its adherents. ~ Adolf Hitler
Basic Instinct quotes by Adolf Hitler
Feminism's agenda is basic: It asks that women not be forced to choose between public justice and private happiness. ~ Susan Faludi
Basic Instinct quotes by Susan Faludi
We need a government which, yes, guarantees basic standards in public services, but which also steps in to protect people's wellbeing as they take part in our consumer democracy - particularly online. ~ David Blunkett
Basic Instinct quotes by David Blunkett
If I wanted to get my arms as big as I could possibly get them, I would probably do around 20 sets of 4 exercises and 5 sets each for the triceps and 20 sets for the biceps per workout 3 times a week. That would be around 60 sets of triceps and 60 sets of biceps work per week. I would keep the reps between 6 and 8 and I would do all basic movements where I'd handle as heavy a weight as possible. I'd consume nutritious food that had calories in and just flat out eat! ~ Bill Pearl
