Text Quotes
This is the reality of nuclear weapons: they may trigger a world war; a war which, unlike previous ones, destroys all of civilization  (Civilization Quotes) The only hope is that our civilization will collapse at a certain point, as always happens in history. Then, out of barbarity, a renaissance  (Civilization Quotes) On a group of theories one can found a school; but on a group of values one can found a culture, a civilization, a new way of living together among men  (Civilization Quotes) The true law of the race is progress and development. Whenever civilization pauses in the march of conquest, it is overthrown by the barbarian  (Civilization Quotes) A knowledge of the forces that rule society, of the causes that have produced its upheavals, and of society’s resources for promoting healthy progress has become of vital concern to our civilization  (Civilization Quotes) Our civilization is still in a middle stage, scarcely beast, in that it is no longer wholly guided by instinct; scarcely human, in that it is not yet wholly guided by reason  (Civilization Quotes) All over the world the wildlife that I write about is in grave danger. It is being exterminated by what we call the progress of civilization  (Civilization Quotes) It has been said that the position of woman is the test of civilization, and that of our women was secure. In them was vested our standard of morals and the purity of our blood  (Civilization Quotes) The moment you give up your principles, and your values, you are dead, your culture is dead, your civilization is dead. Period  (Civilization Quotes) Civilization is merely an advance in taste: accepting, all the time, nicer things, and rejecting nasty ones  (Civilization Quotes) Barbarism is needed every four or five hundred years to bring the world back to life. Otherwise it would die of civilization  (Civilization Quotes) Slavery is the first step towards civilization. In order to develop it is necessary that things should be much better for some and much worse for others, then those who are better off can develop at the expense of others  (Civilization Quotes) We have always been taught that navigation is the result of civilization, but modern archeology has demonstrated very clearly that this is not so  (Civilization Quotes) I would seriously question whether anybody is really foolish enough to really say what they mean. Sometimes I think that civilization as we know it would kind of break down if we all were completely honest  (Civilization Quotes) It is just because civilization is ever evolving, changing, and becoming more complicated, that experts find it so difficult to define it in explicit terms  (Civilization Quotes) Tolerance is held to be a condition of mind which is encouraged by, and is necessary for, civilization  (Civilization Quotes) It is what you do from now on that will either move our civilization forward a few tiny steps, or else... begin to march us steadily backward  (Civilization Quotes) We may get to the point where the only way of saving the world will be for industrial civilization to collapse  (Civilization Quotes) Certainly none of the advances made in civilization has been due to counterrevolutionaries and advocates of the status quo  (Civilization Quotes) The culture of a civilization is the art and literature through which it rises to consciousness of itself and defines its vision of the world  (Civilization Quotes) Internationalism is a community theory of society which is founded on economic, spiritual, and biological facts. It maintains that respect for a healthy development of human society and of world civilization requires that mankind be organized internationally. Nationalities should form the constitutive links in a great world alliance, and must be guaranteed an independent life in the realm of the spiritual and for locally delimited tasks, while economic and political objectives must be guided internationally in a spirit of peaceful cooperation for the promotion of mankind’s common interests  (Civilization Quotes) The sovereign state has in our times become a lethal danger to human civilization because technical developments enable it to employ an infinite number and variety of means of destruction  (Civilization Quotes) Each man has an equal social right to multiply his power of motion by all the social factors of civilization. Private property in any of these factors is inconsistent with this fundamental right; it must, obviously, prove a source of economic despotism and industrial slavery  (Civilization Quotes) Next to the striking of fire and the discovery of the wheel, the greatest triumph of what we call civilization was the domestication of the human male  (Civilization Quotes) I consider that there are different degrees of civilization and there are many different ways of expressing it. But one is civilized or is not  (Civilization Quotes) Of course, one way of thinking about all of life and civilization is as being about how the world registers and processes information. Certainly that’s what sex is about; that’s what history is about  (Civilization Quotes) If a test of civilization be sought, none can be so sure as the condition of that half of society over which the other half has power  (Civilization Quotes) With the emergence of civilization, the rate of change shifted from hundreds of thousands of years to millennia. With the emergence of science as a way of knowing the universe, the rate of change shifted to centuries  (Civilization Quotes) Never before has a civilization reached such a degree of a contempt for life; never before has a generation, drowned in mortification, felt such a rage to live  (Civilization Quotes) What it values most of all is the sum total of events and the advance of civilization, which carries individuals along with it; but, indifferent to details, it cares less to have them real than noble or, rather, grand and complete  (Civilization Quotes)
