Text Quotes
Today’s interpretations of religion are often backward and contradict the needs of civilization  (Vili Quotes) Triumphant science and technology are only at the threshold of man’s command over sources of energy so stupendous that, if used for military purposes, they can wipe out our entire civilization  (Vili Quotes) We are losing sight of civility in government and politics. Debate and dialogue is taking a back seat to the politics of destruction and anger and control. Dogma has replaced thoughtful discussion between people of differing views  (Vili Quotes) Western civilization, unfortunately, does not link knowledge and morality but rather, it connects knowledge and power and makes them equivalent  (Vili Quotes) What has destroyed every previous civilization has been the tendency to the unequal distribution of wealth and power  (Vili Quotes) What is the thread of western civilization that distinguished its course in history? It has to do with the preoccupation of western man with his outward command and his sense of superiority  (Vili Quotes) Women know what men have long forgotten. The ultimate economic and spiritual unit of any civilization is still the family  (Vili Quotes) The method of doubt must be applied to civilization; we must doubt its necessity, its excellence, and its permanence  (Vili Quotes) A civilization without retail bookstores is unimaginable. Like shrines and other sacred meeting places, bookstores are essential artifacts of human nature. The feel of a book taken from the shelf and held in the hand is a magical experience, linking writer to reader  (Vili Quotes) Our civilisation has lost this bond between times, and tends to measure time with a yardstick, bit by bit, from one point to another  (Vili Quotes) Schools and libraries are the twin cornerstones of a civilized society. Libraries are only good if people use them, like books only exist when someone reads them  (Vili Quotes) Girls marry for love. Boys marry because of a chronic irritation that causes them to gravitate in the direction of objects with certain curvilinear properties  (Vili Quotes) Civilization is not a spontaneous generation with any race or nation known to history, but the torch to be handed from race to race from age to age  (Vili Quotes) The trend of all knowledge at the present is to specialize, but archaeology has in it all the qualities that call for the wide view of the human race, of its growth from the savage to the civilized, which is seen in all stages of social and religious development  (Vili Quotes) The statistics of life out there and the statistics of intelligent beings and advanced civilization is a certainty, the way I look at it. It has not been accepted, because we’ve been in an anthropocentric era  (Vili Quotes) The only people who steal are thieves, and that’s a very small percentage of civilization. Most people want to have some way to make the economic transaction valid. They want to return the favor, if you will... return the benefit and reciprocate  (Vili Quotes) There is no moral equivalency between those who would kill using children, innocent civilians, children and adults, in their homes and in their places of worship, to that of a government that is seeking those terrorists before they can engage in that awful activity  (Vili Quotes) To one who believes that really good industrial conditions are the hope for a machine civilization, nothing is more heartening than to watch conference methods and education replacing police methods  (Vili Quotes) Ultimately, there is no compromise. Westerners will either retain their civilization, including the right to insult and blaspheme, or not  (Vili Quotes) No university in the world has ever risen to greatness without a correspondingly great library... When this is no longer true, then will our civilization have come to an end  (Vili Quotes) I think, certainly in the more civilized societies, women’s roles are growing in power all of the time  (Vili Quotes) I am very excited to be supporting one of the world’s most visionary efforts to seek basic answers to some of the fundamental question about our universe and what other civilisations may exist elsewhere  (Vili Quotes) Without poets, without artists, men would soon weary of nature’s monotony. The sublime idea men have of the universe would collapse with dizzying speed. The order which we find in nature, and which is only an effect of art, would at once vanish. Everything would break up in chaos. There would be no seasons, no civilization, no thought, no humanity; even life would give way, and the impotent void would reign everywhere  (Vili Quotes) It is only through books that we partake of the great harvest that is human civilization across the ages  (Vili Quotes) The destiny of world civilization depends upon providing a decent standard of living for all mankind  (Vili Quotes) That survival instinct, that will to live, that need to get back to life again, is more powerful than any consideration of taste, decency, politeness, manners, civility. Anything. It’s such a powerful force  (Vili Quotes) For those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, we are grateful that such men and women were among us. For those who continue to serve, we honor their commitment. For those who return to civilian life, we honor their service  (Vili Quotes) It will be said, however, that protection tends to destroy commerce, the civilizer of mankind. Directly the reverse, however, is the fact  (Vili Quotes) Warfare against civilians must never be answered in kind. Terror must never be answered with terror  (Vili Quotes) Why do people so love to wander? I think the civilized parts of the world will suffice for me in the future  (Vili Quotes)
