Text Quotes
If the Sunday had not been observed as a day of rest during the last three centuries, I have not the slightest doubt that we should have been at this moment a poorer people and less civilized  (Vili Quotes) A blow that would kill a civilized man soon heals on a savage. The higher we go in the scale of life, the greater is the capacity for suffering  (Vili Quotes) No matter what we call it, poison is still poison, death is still death, and industrial civilization is still causing the greatest mass extinction in the history of the planet  (Vili Quotes) We have been shirking too long, and that's unworthy of a great civilization. To see off the new Dark Ages will be tough and demanding. The alternative will be worse  (Vili Quotes) The intellectual tradition is one of servility to power, and if I didn't betray it I'd be ashamed of myself  (Vili Quotes) If we allow more people to solve problems without permission, and if we tolerate (and don't vilify) their mistakes, then we enable a much larger set of problems to be addressed  (Vili Quotes) There are historic situations in which refusal to defend the inheritance of a civilization, however imperfect, against tyranny and aggression may result in consequences even worse than war  (Vili Quotes) Civilized society is perpetually menaced with disintegration through this primary hostility of men towards one another  (Vili Quotes) A civilization which leaves so large a number of its participants unsatisfied and drives them into revolt neither has nor deserves the prospect of a lasting existence  (Vili Quotes) It is impossible to overlook the extent to which civilization is built upon a renunciation of instinct  (Vili Quotes) The liberty of the individual is no gift of civilization. It was greatest before there was any civilization  (Vili Quotes) We believe that civilization has been created under the pressure of the exigencies of life at the cost of satisfaction of the instincts  (Vili Quotes) Funding a civilization through advertising is like trying to get nutrition by connecting a tube from one's anus to one's mouth  (Vili Quotes) It goes without saying that a civilization which leaves so large a number of its participants unsatisfied and drives them into revolt neither has nor deserves the prospect of a lasting existence  (Vili Quotes) Beauty has no obvious use; nor is there any clear cultural necessity for it. Yet civilization could not do without it  (Vili Quotes) It is impossible to overlook the extent to which civilization is built up upon a renunciation of instinct  (Vili Quotes) Very luckily for you and me, the uncivilized sun mysteriously shines on good and bad alike. He is an artist  (Vili Quotes) The movie cheerfully offends all civilized notions of taste, decorum, manners and hygiene... Is the movie vulgar? Vulgarity is when we don't laugh. When we laugh, it's merely human nature  (Vili Quotes) He who in given cases consents to obey his fellows with servility, and who submits his will, and even his thoughts, to their control, how can he pretend that he wishes to be free?  (Vili Quotes) Technological civilizations don't last long. You're all right until you get a printing press. Then a race starts between technology and common sense. and maybe technology always wins  (Vili Quotes) It is not possible for civilization to flow backwards while there is youth in the world. Youth may be headstrong, but it will advance it allotted length  (Vili Quotes) When, in countries that are called civilized, we see age going to the workhouse and youth to the gallows, something must be wrong in the system of government  (Vili Quotes) Civilization, or that which is so called, has operated two ways to make one part of society more affluent and the other part more wretched than would have been the lot of either in a natural state  (Vili Quotes) The constant tug between nature and civilization is what keeps on our toes. Though of course, that did rather beg the question of how you defined nature and how you defined civilization  (Vili Quotes) We are all civilized people, wich means that we are all savages at heart but observing a few amenities of civilized behaviour  (Vili Quotes) He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies  (Vili Quotes) Thanks to modern medical advances such as antibiotics, nasal spray, and Diet Coke, it has become routine for people in the civilized world to pass the age of 40, sometimes more than once  (Vili Quotes) Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking of them  (Vili Quotes) A general definition of civilization: a civilized society is exhibiting the five qualities of truth, beauty, adventure, art, peace  (Vili Quotes) The task of a university is the creation of the future, so far as rational thought and civilized modes of appreciation can affect the issue  (Vili Quotes)
