That sounds shrill. It sounds hard to accept. I believe it’s deadly accurate. But again, we can solve it  (Civilization Quotes) He felt himself in suspension between the two worlds, the warm, neat civilization behind his back, the cool, dark mystery outside.

There are no civilized people yet, it’s a process that’s constantly going on... As long as you have war, police, prisons, crime, you are in the early stages of civilization  (Civilization Quotes) Civilization runs a greater risk if we maintain our present attitude to religion than if we give it up  (Civilization Quotes) A general definition of civilization: a civilized society is exhibiting the fine qualities of truth, beauty, adventure, art, peace  (Civilization Quotes) A world government with powers adequate to guarantee security is not a remote ideal for the distant future.
