Text Quotes
The forces that are in play on climate change essentially revolve around the generation of power, the transportation of goods and services and people, and the sorts of materials that we use to fuel the whole of our civilisation (Civilisation Quotes)
Just carrying a ruler with you in your pocket should be forbidden, at least on a moral basis. The ruler is the symbol of the new illiteracy. The ruler is the symptom of the new disease, disintegration of our civilisation (Civilisation Quotes)
Scientific men can hardly escape the charge of ignorance with regard to the precise effect of the impact of modern science upon the mode of living of the people and upon their civilisation (Civilisation Quotes)
It gave me a moment of exquisite satisfaction to find myself moving away from civilisation in this rude canvas canoe of a model that has served primitive races since men first went to sea (Civilisation Quotes)
What is the use of this fuss about morality when the issue only involves a horse? The first and most difficult teaching of civilisation concerns man’s behaviour to his inferiors. Make humanity gentle or reasonable toward animals, and strife or injustice between human beings would speedily terminate (Civilisation Quotes)
Imagine a civilisation that’s way in advance of us wants to communicate with us, and assist us in our development. The information we provide to them must reflect our highest aspirations and ideals, and not just be some crazy person’s bizarre politics or religion (Civilisation Quotes)
History can show you that it was one pile of bad stuff after another. It can also show you that there’s been tremendous progress in knowledge, behaviour, laws, civilisation. It cannot show you that there was a meaning behind it (Civilisation Quotes)
Advice for a human 86. To like something is to insult it. Love it or hate it. Be passionate. As civilisation advances, so does indifference. It is a disease. Immunize yourself with art. And love (Civilisation Quotes)
It is an ideology born out of hatred and its adherents belong to no religion, culture or civilisation (Civilisation Quotes)
As we take stock on the morrow of victory, we shall find that nothing of real value to the human race has been destroyed. Our dead heroes will have won immortality. Civilisation will have gained new vitality. Humanity will have entered upon a richer heritage (Civilisation Quotes)
Each period of a civilisation creates an art that is specific in it and which we will never see reborn. To try and revive the principles of art of past centuries can lead only to the production of stillborn works (Civilisation Quotes)
Europe is standing on the brink of the greatest tragedy in the history of the human race: a new world war, that may involve the doom of our entire civilisation (Civilisation Quotes)
Like every other destruction of optimism, whether in a whole civilisation or in a single individual, these must have been unspeakable catastrophes for those who had dared to expect progress. But we should feel more than sympathy for those people. We should take it personally. For if any of those earlier experiments in optimism had succeeded, our species would be exploring the stars by now, and you and I would be immortal (Civilisation Quotes)
Western civilisation needs a complete overhaul or it will fall apart one day or another. It has realised the most complete perversion of any rational order of things. Reign of matter, of gold, of machine, of number, it no longer possesses breath, or liberty, or light (Civilisation Quotes)
As in the fine arts, the progress of mankind from barbarism to civilisation is marked by a gradual succession of triumphs over the rude materialities of nature, so in the art of cookery is the progress gradual from the earliest and simplest modes, to those of the most complicated and refined (Civilisation Quotes)
We are producing urban places which are disjointed and disconnected and not worthy of our civilisation (Civilisation Quotes)
Civilisation is never so charming as when it is an island in the middle of simplicity, or of a civilisation of an alien kind (Civilisation Quotes)
The industrial civilisation is based on the consumption of energy resources that are inherently limited in quantity and that are about to become scarce. When they do, competition for what remains will trigger dramatic economic and geopolitical events; in the end, it may be impossible for even a single nation to sustain industrialism as we have know it in the twentieth century (Civilisation Quotes)
Whatever is fine and permanent in human achievement has been realised through individuals courageously facing the circumstances of their being; and a society is civilised to the extent to which it makes this possible. Terrorism, which aims at putting out thespiritual light, is the antithesis of civilisation (Civilisation Quotes)
Civilisation, the orderly world in which we live, is frail. We are skating on thin ice. There is a fear of a collective disaster. Terrorism, genocide, flu, tsunamis (Civilisation Quotes)
All history shows that, in exact proportion as nations advance in civilisation, the accounts of miracles taking place among them become rarer and rarer, until at last they entirely cease (Civilisation Quotes)
In some ways, I lament the introduction of civilisation on such a huge scale, because it has given us a lot of room to abuse each other, which we continue to do (Civilisation Quotes)
There is a physical, not moral, impossibility of supplying the wants of the intellect in the state of civilisation at which we have arrived (Civilisation Quotes)
The spread of civilisation may be likened to a fire; first, a feeble spark, next a flickering flame, then a mighty blaze, ever increasing in speed and power (Civilisation Quotes)
My own view is that this planet is used as a penal colony, lunatic asylum and dumping ground by a superior civilisation, to get rid of the undesirable and unfit. I can’t prove it, but you can’t disprove it either (Civilisation Quotes)
As long as our civilisation keeps trundling along generally forwards, then there is the possibility of a future where ethnicity is merely an interesting badge, not a uniform you can’t take off (Civilisation Quotes)
No civilisation can claim to have a monopoly on universal values and no one can claim to be always faithful to his own values (Civilisation Quotes)
The future of civilisation depends on our overcoming the meaninglessness and hopelessness that characterizes the thoughts of men today (Civilisation Quotes)
Roving dogs do not indicate the civilisation or compassion of the society. They betray on the country the ignorance and lethargy of its members (Civilisation Quotes)
Letters are not the first, but the last step in the progression from barbarism to civilisation (Civilisation Quotes)
