Text Quotes
To be civilized is to be potentially master of all possible ideas, and that means that one has got beyond being shocked, although one preserves one’s own moral aesthetic preferences  (Vili Quotes) It’s too much to expect in an academic setting that we should all agree, but it is not too much to expect discipline and unvarying civility  (Vili Quotes) Just carrying a ruler with you in your pocket should be forbidden, at least on a moral basis. The ruler is the symbol of the new illiteracy. The ruler is the symptom of the new disease, disintegration of our civilisation  (Vili Quotes) I would seriously question whether anybody is really foolish enough to really say what they mean. Sometimes I think that civilization as we know it would kind of break down if we all were completely honest  (Vili Quotes) It is just because civilization is ever evolving, changing, and becoming more complicated, that experts find it so difficult to define it in explicit terms  (Vili Quotes) Tolerance is held to be a condition of mind which is encouraged by, and is necessary for, civilization  (Vili Quotes) Scientific men can hardly escape the charge of ignorance with regard to the precise effect of the impact of modern science upon the mode of living of the people and upon their civilisation  (Vili Quotes) I have no stories to sell. A lot of my relationships are with civilians, and no one wants to hear about those  (Vili Quotes) I would like to see us get this place right first before we have the arrogance to put significantly flawed civilizations out onto other planets, even though they may be utterly uninhabited  (Vili Quotes) It is what you do from now on that will either move our civilization forward a few tiny steps, or else... begin to march us steadily backward  (Vili Quotes) We may get to the point where the only way of saving the world will be for industrial civilization to collapse  (Vili Quotes) Yet, upon the whole, the space I traversed is unlikely to become the haunt of civilized man, or will only become so in isolated spots, as a chain of connection to a more fertile country; if such a country exist to the westward  (Vili Quotes) If civilians are going to be killed, I would rather have them be their civilians than our civilians  (Vili Quotes) It gave me a moment of exquisite satisfaction to find myself moving away from civilisation in this rude canvas canoe of a model that has served primitive races since men first went to sea  (Vili Quotes) Xenophobia manifests itself especially against civilizations and cultures that are weak because they lack economic resources, means of subsistence or land. So nomadic people are the first targets of this kind of aggression  (Vili Quotes) Certainly none of the advances made in civilization has been due to counterrevolutionaries and advocates of the status quo  (Vili Quotes) Ircumcision, an archaic ritual mutilation that has no justification whatever and no place in a civilized society  (Vili Quotes) The culture of a civilization is the art and literature through which it rises to consciousness of itself and defines its vision of the world  (Vili Quotes) As long as the enemy fights he must be beaten relentlessly, but a defeated enemy and especially the civilian population must be treated generously  (Vili Quotes) Internationalism is a community theory of society which is founded on economic, spiritual, and biological facts. It maintains that respect for a healthy development of human society and of world civilization requires that mankind be organized internationally. Nationalities should form the constitutive links in a great world alliance, and must be guaranteed an independent life in the realm of the spiritual and for locally delimited tasks, while economic and political objectives must be guided internationally in a spirit of peaceful cooperation for the promotion of mankind’s common interests  (Vili Quotes) The sovereign state has in our times become a lethal danger to human civilization because technical developments enable it to employ an infinite number and variety of means of destruction  (Vili Quotes) Each man has an equal social right to multiply his power of motion by all the social factors of civilization. Private property in any of these factors is inconsistent with this fundamental right; it must, obviously, prove a source of economic despotism and industrial slavery  (Vili Quotes) Next to the striking of fire and the discovery of the wheel, the greatest triumph of what we call civilization was the domestication of the human male  (Vili Quotes) I consider that there are different degrees of civilization and there are many different ways of expressing it. But one is civilized or is not  (Vili Quotes) Of course, one way of thinking about all of life and civilization is as being about how the world registers and processes information. Certainly that’s what sex is about; that’s what history is about  (Vili Quotes) We are born charming fresh and spontaneous and must be civilized before we are fit to participate in society  (Vili Quotes) If a test of civilization be sought, none can be so sure as the condition of that half of society over which the other half has power  (Vili Quotes) With the emergence of civilization, the rate of change shifted from hundreds of thousands of years to millennia. With the emergence of science as a way of knowing the universe, the rate of change shifted to centuries  (Vili Quotes) Never before has a civilization reached such a degree of a contempt for life; never before has a generation, drowned in mortification, felt such a rage to live  (Vili Quotes) In itself and in its consequences the life of leisure is beautiful and ennobling in all civilised men’s eyes  (Vili Quotes)
