Humankind cannot bear very much reality.

Human kind
Cannot bear very much reality.

- Burnt Norton

The human race does not have a very good record of intelligent behaviour.

We have to deal with human reality as a being which is what it is not and which is not what it is.

The human race believes in not taking its problems seriously enough to solve them.

Americans can't really handle the truth, the enormity of the truth.

The human race has to be bad at psychology; if it were not, it would understand why it is bad at everything else.

Human beings are not very good at taking losses or admitting failure.

I think there is something wrong with the human race. It undermines everything one would like to believe in, don't you think?

Reality in our century is not something to be faced.

Reality is a crutch for people who can't handle science fiction

Reality is the name we give to our disappointments.

Few of us are equipped to cope with the complexity and dazzling variety of twenty-first-century existence.

That was reality and as is often the case, reality sucks.
