Text Quotes
The line that connects the bombing of civilian populations to the mountain removed by strip mining... To the tortured prisoner seems to run pretty straight. We're living, it seems, in the culmination of a long warfare - warfare against human beings, other creatures and the Earth itself (Vili Quotes)
A public that tries to do without criticism, and asserts that it knows what it wants or likes, brutalizes the arts and loses its cultural memory. Art for art's sake is a retreat from criticism which ends in an impoverishment of civilized life itself (Vili Quotes)
Celtic civilization was tribal, but by no means savage or uncultivated. People who regarded the theft of a harp from a bard as a crime second only to an attack on the tribal chieftain cannot be regarded as wanting in cultivated feeling (Vili Quotes)
The greatest task before civilization at present is to make machines what they ought to be, the slaves, instead of the masters of men (Vili Quotes)
The prevalence of suicide, without doubt, is a test of height in civilization; it means that the population is winding up its nervous and intellectual system to the utmost point of tension and that sometimes it snaps (Vili Quotes)
We cannot be sure that we ought not to regard the most criminal country as that which in some aspects possesses the highest civilization (Vili Quotes)
There is held to be no surer test of civilization than the increase per head of the consumption of alcohol and tobacco. Yet alcohol and tobacco are recognizable poisons, so that their consumption has only to be carried far enough to destroy civilization altogether (Vili Quotes)
As I have said for many years throughout this land, we're borrowing money from China to buy oil from the Persian Gulf to burn it in ways that destroy the future of human civilization. Every bit of that has to change (Vili Quotes)
Winston Churchill aroused this nation in heroic fashion to save civilisation in World War Two. We have everything we need except political will, but political will is a renewable resource (Vili Quotes)
There are two kinds of clocks. There is the clock that is always wrong, and that knows it is wrong, and glories in it; and there is the clock that is always right - except when you rely upon it, and then it is more wrong than you would think a clock could be in a civilized country (Vili Quotes)
They danced on the shore in marvelous, civilized, humorous reels in which the old contributed wit when they could not contribute grace, and the young listened to their elders, who told them in their dancing to hold on, to love, to be patient, and most of all, to trust (Vili Quotes)
I ascribe a basic importance to the phenomenon of language. To speak means to be in a position to use a certain syntax, to grasp the morphology of this or that language, but it means above all to assume a culture, to support the weight of a civilization (Vili Quotes)
Can we ring the bells backward? Can we unlearn the arts that pretend to civilize, and then burn the world? There is a march of science; but who shall beat the drums for its retreat? (Vili Quotes)
If there hadn't been women we'd still be squatting in a cave eating raw meat, because we made civilization in order to impress our girlfriends (Vili Quotes)
Funny the things which civilization has to offer when one misses. Flooring is a lovely thing. Gives one confidence. During my five weeks' occupancy the mud floor stayed wet in spite of great care on my part not to slop the water again. It never did properly dry, because the hut was necessarily dark. No direct sun came in, and the humidity was so terrific that even in direct sunlight nothing ever dried out. Curious to live on a slippery surface. A floor is a very important item (Vili Quotes)
Ultimately, a civilized society must disarm its citizenry if it is to have a modicum of domestic tranquility of the kind enjoyed by sister democracies such as Canada and Britain. Given the frontier history and individualist ideology of the United States, however, this will not come easily (Vili Quotes)
Our treatment of animals will one day be considered barbarous. There cannot be a perfect civilization until man realizes that the rights of every living creature are as sacred as his own (Vili Quotes)
Name one civilization led by two people - a pair. It doesn't happen. Do you know the fastest path to creating enemies? Forge a partnership (Vili Quotes)
We will see that the greatest problem confronting civilization is not merely religious extremism: rather, it is the larger set of cultural and intellectual accommodations we have made to faith itself (Vili Quotes)
It is a curious thing... That every creed promises a paradise which will be absolutely uninhabitable for anyone of civilized taste (Vili Quotes)
When the Judgment Day comes civilization will have an alibi, I never took a human life, I only sold the fellow the gun to take it with (Vili Quotes)
Look folks, we know who built this country and we know who is going to rebuild it. It's you. Instead of vilifying you, we should be thanking you. We owe you (Vili Quotes)
The sovereign being is burdened with a servitude that crushes him, and the condition of free men is deliberate servility (Vili Quotes)
Apart from the desire to produce beautiful things, the leading passion of my life has been and is hatred of modern civilization (Vili Quotes)
She was so evidently the victim of the civilization which had produced her, that the links of her bracelet seemed like manacles chaining her to her fate (Vili Quotes)
No civilized society can long exist, with an active power in its bosom that is stronger than the law (Vili Quotes)
Mankind twist and turn the rules of the Lord, to suit their own wickedness, when their devilish cunning has had too much time to trifle with His command (Vili Quotes)
Pernicious weed! Whose scent the fair annoys, unfriendly to society's chief joys, thy worst effect is banishing for hours the sex whose presence civilizes ours (Vili Quotes)
A democratic civilization will save itself only if it makes the language of the image into a stimulus for critical reflection - not an invitation for hypnosis (Vili Quotes)
But there is a devil of a difference between barbarians who are fit by nature to be used for anything, and civilized people who apply them selves to everything (Vili Quotes)
