Text Quotes
Family life was and always will be the foundation of any civilization. Destroy the family and you destroy the country (Civilization Quotes)
There’s never been a civilization, ever in history, that has embraced homosexuality and turned away from traditional fidelity and traditional marriage, traditional child rearing, and has survived (Civilization Quotes)
What I question is the extent to which any of us truly knows what the facts really are. I mistrust every ideal cherished in western democratic civilization. The words that make others smile and nod in agreement cause me to recoil (Civilization Quotes)
If civilization is in danger today... it will do so with the enthusiastic assistance of credulous people. They seem to me more dangerous than the most brazen leaders, because everything is done with their cooperation (Civilization Quotes)
Civilization has taught man how to live in dense crowds, and by that very fact those crowds are likely ultimately to constitute a majority of the world’s population. Already there are many who prefer this crowded life, but there are others who do not, and these will gradually be eliminated. Life in the crowded conditions of cities has many unattractive features, but in the long run these may be overcome, not so much by altering them, but simply by changing the human race into liking them (Civilization Quotes)
It oughtn’t to need a war to make us talk to each other in buses, and invent our own amusements in the evenings, and live simply, and eat sparingly, and recover the use of our legs, and get up early enough to see the sun rise. However, it has needed one: which is about the severest criticism our civilization could have (Civilization Quotes)
The spirit of playful competition is, as a social impulse, older than culture itself and pervades all life like a veritable ferment. Ritual grew up in sacred play; poetry was born in play and nourished on play; music and dancing were pure play... We have to conclude, therefore, that civilization is, in its earliest phases, played. It does not come from play... it arises in and as play, and never leaves it (Civilization Quotes)
It seemed so illogical to punish some poor criminal for doing something that civilization taught him how to do so he could have something that civilization taught him how to want. It seemed to him as wrong as if they had hung the gun that shot the man (Civilization Quotes)
Hysteria and degeneration have always existed; but they formerly showed themselves sporadically, and had no importance in the life of the whole community. It was only the vast fatigue which was experienced by the generation on which the multitudes of discoveries and innovations burst abruptly, imposing on it organic exigencies greatly surpassing its strength, which created favourable conditions under which these maladies could gain ground enormously, and become a danger to civilization (Civilization Quotes)
Technical civilization has made a great error in not suppressing death, the only human reality still intact (Civilization Quotes)
If we don’t watch out, the pleasure o be gained from the discriminating enjoyment of food will be lost. It may not be long before the art of fine cooking is viewed as the invention of a handful of snobs... A whole aspect of living well, of civilization itself, is threatened with extinction (Civilization Quotes)
Wilderness itself is the basis of all our civilization. I wonder if we have enough reverence for life to concede to wilderness the right to live on? (Civilization Quotes)
Sedentary culture is the goal of civilization. It means the end of its lifespan and brings about its corruption (Civilization Quotes)
Fain would we remain barbarians, if our claim to civilization were to be based on the gruesome glory of war (Civilization Quotes)
One difference between savagery and civilization is a little courtesy. There’s no telling what a lot of courtesy would do (Civilization Quotes)
In the last analysis civilization itself is measured by the way in which children will live and what chance they will have in the world (Civilization Quotes)
In our civilization men are afraid they will not be man enough, and women are afraid that they might be considered only women (Civilization Quotes)
Strong drink stupefies a man and makes it possible for him to forget; it gives him an artificial cheeriness, an artificial excitement; and the pleasure of this state is increased by the low level of civilization and the narrow empty life to which these men are confined (Civilization Quotes)
Animal experiments occupy a central place in the material and spiritual edifice of our whole civilization. We are speaking here of one of those foundation stones whose removal could cause the whole house to collapse (Civilization Quotes)
In the desert I had found a freedom unattainable in civilization; a life unhampered by possessions, since everything that was not a necessity was an encumbrance. I had found too, a comradeship inherent in the circumstances, and the belief that tranquility was to be found there (Civilization Quotes)
As civilization has become more complex, and as the need for invisible government has been increasingly demonstrated, the technical means have been invented and developed by which opinion may be regimented (Civilization Quotes)
The development of civilization and industry in general has always shown itself so active in the destruction of forests that everything that has been done for their conservation and production is completely insignificant in comparison (Civilization Quotes)
A chair is the first thing you need when you don’t really need anything, and is therefore a peculiarly compelling symbol of civilization. For it is civilization, not survival, that requires design (Civilization Quotes)
In perhaps 50 years, 60 years, we can finish completely this civilization, and offer to our children the possibility to invent a new story, a new poetry, a new romanticism (Civilization Quotes)
... love was an illusion which civilization had produced to give a little order to the frequency of the sex act (Civilization Quotes)
Violence is not necessary to destroy a civilization. Each civilization dies from indifference toward the unique values which created it (Civilization Quotes)
We want women leaders today as never before. Leaders who are not afraid to be called names and who are willing to go out and fight. I think women can save civilization. Women are persons (Civilization Quotes)
When the survival strategy of a civilization is invalidated, in all of human history none have ever turned back from the brink (Civilization Quotes)
The family is the engine that drives civilization. Throughout history, those cultures that have failed to found their rules and attitudes of society on the central importance of the family unit have decayed and disintegrated (Civilization Quotes)
The provision of health care facilities must be accepted as a social responsibility. It is not that an individual who has the misfortune to be inflicted with some particular disease is solely responsible for searching the facilities to cure his illness. This is a social responsibility which is accepted by governments all over the world. This is part and parcel of the organization of individuals into societies. It is a measure of the degree of civilization (Civilization Quotes)
