Vili Quotes

We are producing urban places which are disjointed and disconnected and not worthy of our civilisation Picture Quote #1

Civilisation is never so charming as when it is an island in the middle of simplicity, or of a civilisation of an alien kind Picture Quote #1

In perhaps 50 years, 60 years, we can finish completely this civilization, and offer to our children the possibility to invent a new story, a new poetry, a new romanticism Picture Quote #1

Violence is not necessary to destroy a civilization. Each civilization dies from indifference toward the unique values which created it Picture Quote #1

We want women leaders today as never before. Leaders who are not afraid to be called names and who are willing to go out and fight. I think women can save civilization. Women are persons Picture Quote #1

When the survival strategy of a civilization is invalidated, in all of human history none have ever turned back from the brink Picture Quote #1

The family is the engine that drives civilization. Throughout history, those cultures that have failed to found their rules and attitudes of society on the central importance of the family unit have decayed and disintegrated Picture Quote #1

The provision of health care facilities must be accepted as a social responsibility. It is not that an individual who has the misfortune to be inflicted with some particular disease is solely responsible for searching the facilities to cure his illness. This is a social responsibility which is accepted by governments all over the world. This is part and parcel of the organization of individuals into societies. It is a measure of the degree of civilization Picture Quote #1

Civilizations rise and fall on confidence. America had figured out a way to borrow money to manufacture it Picture Quote #1

We don’t understand the power of nature and the world because we don’t live with it. Our environment is designed to sustain us. We are the domestic pets of a human zoo called civilization Picture Quote #1

Our civilization depends critically on software, and we have a dangerously low degree of professionalism in the computer fields Picture Quote #1

We see a decline of civility, and, sadly, it’s often modeled by the very people from whom we have the least right to expect it Picture Quote #1

Aviation is going to control the world economically and militarily whether we like it or not. Airpower is not merely military aviation, it is also civilian aviation and airpower is peace power Picture Quote #1

If we believe in the rebirth of our civilization... then clearly this renaissance must begin in the chambers of our own hearts... We cannot wait for society to change, or for our institutions to be renewed. We, as individuals, must assume responsibility for our own personal transformation Picture Quote #1

If a conservative order is indeed to return, we ought to know the tradition which is attached to it, so that we may rebuild society; if it is not to be restored, still we ought to understand conservative ideas so that we may rake from the ashes what scorched fragments of civilizations escape the conflagration of unchecked will and appetite Picture Quote #1

Early in my career I discovered that there was something really special about photographing at night that places your mind on the surface of the planet. You’re no longer just a human being walking around in the regular world. You’re a human animal striding around on the surface of the planet that’s out in the middle of the galaxy. We as a culture, we’re forgetting that we are actually natural organisms and that we have this very deep connection and contact with nature. You can’t divorce civilization from nature. We totally depend on it Picture Quote #1

If you see, in the spectrum of a planet host star, strange chemical elements, it can be a signal from a civilization which is there Picture Quote #1
