Text Quotes
Glamor is just sex that got civilized. A pretty girl, tastefully posed in a scant costume, is even a sort of cultural achievement (Civilized Quotes)
One of the effects of safe and civilized life is an immense oversensitiveness which makes all the primary emotions seem somewhat disgusting (Civilized Quotes)
It ought to be remembered by all [that] the Games more than 2,000 years ago started as a means of bringing peace between the Greek city-states. And in those days, even if a war was going on, they called off the war in order to hold the Games. I wish we were still as civilized (Civilized Quotes)
And in spite of everything, Ireland remains the brain of the Kingdom. The English, judiciously practical and ponderous, furnish the over-stuffed stomach of humanity with a perfect gadget--the water closet. The Irish, condemned to express themselves in a language not their own, have stamped on it the mark of their own genius and compete for glory with the civilized nations. This is then called English literature (Civilized Quotes)
Secret Societies have existed among all peoples, savage and civilized, since the beginning of recorded history... It is beyond question that the secret societies of all ages have exercised a considerable degree of political influence (Civilized Quotes)
In all ages, through all the varied experience of individuals and nations, knowledge has been the power which has civilized, elevated and dignified humanity. In those countries where progress has been most rapid, the thirst for knowledge has been most intense (Civilized Quotes)
Becoming more flexible, open-minded, having a capacity to deal with change is a good thing. But it is far from the whole story. Grandparents, in the absence of the social institutions that once demanded civilized behavior, have their work cut out for them. Our grandchildren are hungry for our love and approval, but also for standards being set (Civilized Quotes)
It seems to me that we have to draw the line in sibling rivalry whenever rivalry goes out of bounds into destructive behavior of aphysical or verbal kind. The principle needs to be this: Whatever the reasons for your feelings you will have to find civilized solutions (Civilized Quotes)
What should we suppose must naturally be the consequence of our carrying on a slave trade with Africa? With a country, vast in its extent, not utterly barbarous, but civilized in a very small degree? Does any one suppose a slave trade would help their civilization? (Civilized Quotes)
It frustrates me that Britain can’t make something like ‘CSI’ or ‘The Sopranos’. Instead, British TV puts soap in primetime while every other civilized nation leaves it in daytime. Viewers should be more demanding (Civilized Quotes)
Though we love to think that we are civilized and developed than that of people lived centuries ago. In reality, the world is still run through the principle of ‘Might is right’. Whoever - government or individual - has more power and money is dominating and, in many cases, oppressing people who are financially and politically weaker (Civilized Quotes)
There is very little in civilized life that demands everything you got intellectually, physically, and emotionally. Driving is living. It’s aggressive instead of passive living. (Civilized Quotes)
We need a government, not politics. Because there’s too much politics. Of course there should be debate. But there seems to be so much pettiness and not enough good faith. It is civilized to agree to disagree, and this idea is slowly disintegrating. The great statesmen of the past knew this, and I think it helps drive civilization. (Civilized Quotes)
In a civilized and cultivated country, wild animals only continue to exist at all when preserved by sportsmen. (Civilized Quotes)
All nations that are civilized and do not accept this kind of action as representing any sort of legitimate political cause are coming together to fight these terrorists. (Civilized Quotes)
Glory is a scandal. Let me state once and for all: I do not wish to be civilized. (Civilized Quotes)
With every cell of my being and with every fiber of my memory I oppose the death penalty in all forms. I do not believe any civilized society should be at the service of death. I don’t think it’s human to become an agent of the angel of death. (Civilized Quotes)
I have never witnessed on any previous occasion such entire disregard of the usage of civilized warfare and the dictates of humanity. (Civilized Quotes)
Nothing is more useless in developing a nation’s economy than a gun, and nothing blocks the road to social development more than the financial burden of war. War is the arch enemy of national progress and the modern scourge of civilized men. (Civilized Quotes)
Nothing is more useless in developing a nation’s economy than a gun, and nothing blocks the road to social development more than the financial burden of war. War is the arch enemy of national progress and the modern scourge of civilized man. (Civilized Quotes)
I had no idea of the historical evolution of the civilized world’s music and had not realized that all modern music owes everything to Bach. (Civilized Quotes)
Every civilized human being, whatever his conscious development, is still an archaic man at the deeper levels of his psyche. (Civilized Quotes)
I think being interested is really what being civilized is about. I mean, you have to be conscious of everything. (Civilized Quotes)
It’s easy for me to go back to being a kid. You know how kids can be like savages before they get civilized? There’s that sadist quality. Y’know, like boys who like to pick apart an insect for the sake of it. (Civilized Quotes)
In all of my books, I’ve emphasized that the fundamental difference between civilized and indigenous ways of being is that, for even the most open-minded of the civilized, listening to the natural world is a metaphor. (Civilized Quotes)
In a free society, we will tolerate boorish people, who have abhorrent behavior, but if we’re civilized people, we publicly criticize that, and don’t belong to those groups or don’t associate with those people. (Civilized Quotes)
The best things cannot be told, the second best are misunderstood. After that comes civilized conversation; after that, mass indoctrination; after that, intercultural exchange. (Civilized Quotes)
As we become civilized we are governed less by persons and more by principles. . . . The best of all leaders is the man who teaches people to lead themselves. (Civilized Quotes)
When it comes to raising civilized kids there are no hard rules, but there are two things on which most parents agree: Boys are generally wilder than girls, and adolescents are wilder than kids of any other age. If you’ve got an adolescent boy, you’re in the sweet spot for trouble. (Civilized Quotes)
For society, marriage is undoubtedly beneficial. But the burdens of civilized morality are too heavy for many to bear. (Civilized Quotes)
