Text Quotes
No dogma taught by the present civilization seems to form so insuperable an obstacle in a way of a right understanding of the relations which culture sustains as to wilderness, as that which declares that the world was made especially for the uses of men. Every animal, plant, and crystal controverts it in the plainest terms. Yet it is taught from century to century as something ever new and precious, and in the resulting darkness the enormous conceit is allowed to go unchallenged  (Civilization Quotes) If the world suffers from mental deterioration or from moral degradation, then something goes wrong at the very root of civilization or culture. Even though that civilization may drag out for a considerable period, it grows less and less vital and ultimately tumbles down  (Civilization Quotes) After long centuries, agrarian civilization is weakening. Is sufficient attention being devoted to the arrangement and improvement of the life of the country people, whose inferior and at times miserable economic situation provokes the flight to the unhappy crowded conditions of the city outskirts, where neither employment nor housing awaits them?  (Civilization Quotes) It is an awesome thing to comprehend the magnitude of the fact that what a human being dreams and imagines can be realized. The power of that truth needs to be directed toward our creation of a future that is worthy of true human value and the world civilization  (Civilization Quotes) Advanced technology does not always promise a more intelligent civilization. On the contrary, the more the common people rely on technology to do their thinking and solving for them, the less practice there is left for their own brains  (Civilization Quotes) The purpose of civilization and growth is to be able to reach out and empathize with other people... For me, the movies are like a machine that generates empathy  (Civilization Quotes) At the root of our civilization, there is the freedom of each person of thought, of belief, of opinion, of work, of leisure  (Civilization Quotes) That’s what painting does; it organizes vision in a certain way or suggests that certain things be paid attention to and certain other things not be paid attention to. It functions in that way to a certain extent in our civilization  (Civilization Quotes) Civilization tries to persuade us we are going towards something, a distant goal. We have forgotten that our only goal is to live, to live each and every day, and that if we live each and every day, our true goal is achieved  (Civilization Quotes) The moral development of a civilization is measured by the breadth of its sense of community  (Civilization Quotes) The destruction that barbarians leave behind has a grim fascination, doesn’t it? We’re reminded how thin is the veneer of civilization  (Civilization Quotes) Since the same human mire remains beneath, does not all civilization reduce itself to the superiority of smelling nice and living well?  (Civilization Quotes) You can tell a lot about a civilization by the quality of the people found in its jails  (Civilization Quotes) Art is the response of the living to life. It is therefore the record left behind by civilization  (Civilization Quotes) What’s true for us as individual humans is true for the civilization we create: a sprint culture, seeking ever greater speed and power in all things cannot endure  (Civilization Quotes) Generations do not age. Every youth of any period, any civilization, has the same possibilities as always  (Civilization Quotes) That which we call civilization is merely the accumulated debris of a chilling number of bad nights  (Civilization Quotes) The saddest object in civilization, and to my mind the greatest confession of its failure, is the man who can work, who wants work, and who is not allowed to work  (Civilization Quotes) It is always the moralists who do the most harm. Abortion is the logical outcome of civilization, only the jungle gives birth and moulders away as nature decrees. Man plans  (Civilization Quotes) In my mind nothing is more abhorrent than a life of ease. None of us has any right to ease. There is no place in civilization for the idler  (Civilization Quotes) Were civilization itself to be estimated by some of its results, it would seem perhaps better for what we call the barbarous part of the world to remain unchanged  (Civilization Quotes) Our civilization... is not devaluing its awareness of the unknowable; nor is it deifying it. It is the first civilization that has severed it from religion and superstition. In order to question it  (Civilization Quotes) A civilization is a social entity that manifests religious, political, legal, and customary uniformity over an extended period, and which confers on its members the benefits of socially accumulated knowledge  (Civilization Quotes) Anybody who knows something about the history of the human race knows that there is no civilization which has condoned homosexual marriage widely and openly that has long survived  (Civilization Quotes) India is a civilization where the principle and philosophy of sacrifice is ingrained as part of our upbringing  (Civilization Quotes) A civilization is complicated, in the first place, because it is dynamic; that is, it is constantly changing in the passage of time, until it has perished  (Civilization Quotes) It is clear that every civilization undergoes a process of historical change. We can see that a civilization comes into existence, passes through a long experience, and eventually goes out of existence  (Civilization Quotes) The process by which civilization, as an abstract entity distinct from the societies in which it is embodied, dies or is reborn is a very significant one  (Civilization Quotes) The law should be the point at which savagery ended because civilization stood in its path  (Civilization Quotes) War has been with us ever since the dawn of civilization. Nothing has been more constant in history than war  (Civilization Quotes)
