If man were immortal he could be perfectly sure of seeing the day when everything in which he had trusted should betray his trust, and, in short, of coming eventually to hopeless misery. He would break down, at last, as every good fortune, as every dynasty, as every civilization does. In place of this we have death (Vili Quotes)
And we owe science to the combined energies of individual men of genius, rather than to any tendency to progress inherent in civilization (Vili Quotes)
I feel this is very important for us to have serene buildings because our civilization is chaotic as it is, you see; our whole machine age has brought about a chaos that has to be somehow counterbalanced, I think (Vili Quotes)
The civilized world needs to think about a decision when single politicians are not allowed to stay in power (Vili Quotes)
The civilizing process has increased the distance between behavior and the impulse life of the animal body (Vili Quotes)
One of the effects of civilization is to diminish the rigour of the application of the law of natural selection. It preserves weakly lives that would have perished in barbarous lands (Vili Quotes)
The discovery of printing in the middle of the fifteenth century implied the beginning of a return to a type of civilization dominated by the eye rather than the ear (Vili Quotes)
Every leader, and every regime, and every movement, and every organization that steps across the line to terrorism must be banished from the discourse of civilized human life (Vili Quotes)
A country is considered the more civilised the more the wisdom and efficiency of its laws hinder a weak man from becoming too weak and a powerful one too powerful (Vili Quotes)
This peace is not the absence of anything. Real peace is the presence of something beautiful. Both peace and the thirst for it have been in the heart of every human being in every century and every civilization (Vili Quotes)
Poetry is not a civilizer, rather the reverse, for great poetry appeals to the most primitive instincts (Vili Quotes)

Reading, writing, teaching, learning, are all activities aimed at introducing civilizations to each other (Vili Quotes)
Modesty and reverence are no less virtues of freemen than the democratic feeling which will submit neither to arrogance nor to servility (Vili Quotes)
No one can be certain where a nation which spans two continents, whose history begins in the faint traces of early civilization, a nation now struggling to find a new and valid philosophy of existence, will be propelled by the transcendental forces of the nuclear age (Vili Quotes)
From the failure of the humanist tradition to participate fully or to act decisively, civilizations may perhaps crumble or perish at the hands of barbarians. But unless the humanist tradition itself in some form survives, there can really be no civilization at all (Vili Quotes)
To be individually righteous is the first of all duties, come what may to ones self, to one’s country, to society, and to civilization itself (Vili Quotes)
Have you ever heard one civilized person whose opinion you respect, at any time, anywhere, in any civilized country anywhere, say the good new days? (Vili Quotes)
Texas is not a civilized place. Texans shoot one another a lot. They also knife, razor, and stomp one another to death with some frequency. And they fight in bars all the time (Vili Quotes)
Everywhere in the world the industrial regime tends to make the unorganized or unorganizable individual, the pauper, into the victim of a kind of human sacrifice offered to the gods of civilization (Vili Quotes)
In an automobile civilization, which was one of constant motion and activity, there was almost no time to think; in a television one, there is small desire (Vili Quotes)
Woman’s success in lifting men out of their way of life nearly resembling that of the beasts who merely hunted and fished for food, who found shelter where they could in jungles, in trees, and caves was a civilizing triumph (Vili Quotes)
