Text Quotes
Our fantastic civilization has fallen out of touch with many aspects of nature, and with none more completely than with night (Vili Quotes)
Without the restraints of religion and social worship, men become savages much sooner than savages become civilized by means of religion and civil government (Vili Quotes)
The industrial civilisation is based on the consumption of energy resources that are inherently limited in quantity and that are about to become scarce. When they do, competition for what remains will trigger dramatic economic and geopolitical events; in the end, it may be impossible for even a single nation to sustain industrialism as we have know it in the twentieth century (Vili Quotes)
Perhaps only when people can enjoy their differences as a resource of cultural enrichment do they become truly civilized (Vili Quotes)
Animals give us their constant, unjaded faces, and we burden them with our bodies and civilized ordeals (Vili Quotes)
It is a mark of civilised man that he seeks to understand his traditions, and to criticise them, not to swallow them whole (Vili Quotes)
By rendering the labor of one, the property of the other, they cherish pride, luxury, and vanity on one side; on the other, vice and servility, or hatred and revolt (Vili Quotes)
Writing keeps me at my desk, constantly trying to write a perfect sentence. It is a great privilege to make one’s living from writing sentences. The sentence is the greatest invention of civilization. To sit all day long assembling these extraordinary strings of words is a marvelous thing. I couldn’t ask for anything better. It’s as near to godliness as I can get (Vili Quotes)
Avatar is the most high tech film in terms of its execution, dealing with essentially a very low tech subject; which is our relationship with nature... and in fact the irony is that the film is about our relationship with nature and how our technological civilization has taken us several removes away from a truly natural existence and the consequences of that to us (Vili Quotes)
If we are to produce a more civilized society, a more just society, it has to be based on the truth (Vili Quotes)
Civilization means, above all, an unwillingness to inflict unnecessary pain... those of us who heedlessly accept the commands of authority cannot yet claim to be civilized men (Vili Quotes)
Our community of rebels, of humble truth seekers, wants to turn our culture around. We don’t despise our country. We don’t desire failure. We desire light, a beacon to show the world that our wealth need not show the way to more rapid destruction, but can be leveraged to heal more acres, more backyards, more communities faster than any civilization on the right path has ever done it (Vili Quotes)
No society can legitimately call itself civilized if a sick person is denied medical aid because of lack of means (Vili Quotes)
In civilized societies, if you are offended by a cartoon, you do not burn flags, take up guns and raid buildings, chant death to your opponents, or threaten suicide bombings. You write a letter to the editor (Vili Quotes)
Our search for certainty rests in our attempts at understanding the history of all individual selves and all civilizations. Beyond that, there is only awe (Vili Quotes)
I think the biggest reason otherwise radical people don’t want to face the necessity of ending industrial civilization is privilege. We’re the ones reaping the benefits. We’ve sold out the rest of life on earth for convenience, creature comforts, and cheap consumer goods, and it’s appalling. I’m sickened by this bargain (Vili Quotes)
Since humans first huddled around campfires, stories have been told of wild horses with wind in their manes, fire in their eyes and freedom in their hearts. Those horses eluded capture, and scorned the comforts of civilization. Americans have insisted they want their wild horses to live that way, forever (Vili Quotes)
The definition of terrorism is killing civilians with the intent of changing their political affiliation (Vili Quotes)
Our civilization is facing a radical, imminent mass change. The alternative to the hierarchical power structure is based on mutual aid and group consensus. As hackers we can learn these systems, manipulate these systems, and shut down these systems if we need to (Vili Quotes)
A log cabin symbolized the embrace between civilization and nature, humans literally wrapping the trees around them as they might draw on a coat and hat (Vili Quotes)
The aim of eugenics is to represent each class or sect by its best specimens; that done, to leave them to work out their common civilization in their own way (Vili Quotes)
Enormous amounts of money are spent for publicity. As a result, large quantities of alimentary and pharmaceutical products, at the least useless, and often harmful, have become a necessity for civilized men (Vili Quotes)
Since the discovery of oxygen the civilised world has undergone a revolution in manners and customs. The knowledge of the composition of the atmosphere, of the solid crust of the earth, of water, and of their influence upon the life of plants and animals, was linked to that discovery. The successful pursuit of innumerable trades and manufactures, the profitable separation of metals from their ores, also stand in the closest connection therewith (Vili Quotes)
Every single empire in its official discourse has said that it is not like all the others, that its circumstances are special, that it has a mission to enlighten, civilize, bring order and democracy, and that it uses force only as a last resort. And, sadder still, there always is a chorus of willing intellectuals to say calming words about benign or altruistic empires (Vili Quotes)
In our civilization, there are permanent forms which are part of every epoch and every culture. They are not especially difficult to detect. A minimal knowledge of physics, astrophysics, and perhaps mathematics, brings to light certain patterns that make these subjects easier to understand. It is striking to see the extreme similarity between these scientific propositions and the forms that recur in all times, places and civilizations (Vili Quotes)
Humankind is able to create new conditions, a new reality. We are not fated to swim forever among the realities that are here now... Everything that is worthwhile in human civilization has not only originated from but has been inspired by dreams, by imagination (Vili Quotes)
Practical application is found by not looking for it, and one can say that the whole progress of civilization rests on that principle (Vili Quotes)
Perhaps, some day, humanity can start afresh, a new world, a tabula rasa, a world with a mind without prior experiences. No memories and no pain. A day when the ones with abundance do not look down at the poor and the needy, a day when we learn to care for the victims, the fallen souls of civilization and advancement, a day when the world will be pure. When all of humanity becomes a clean sheet of parchment, without knowledge and prejudice, simple, hungry for knowing, tasting, and feeling; hungry for life and ready to absorb the ink of experience (Vili Quotes)
Science is the most reliable guide for civilization, for life, for success in the world. Searching a guide other than the science is meaning carelessness, ignorance and heresy (Vili Quotes)
No nation, no society, no community can hold its head high and claim to be part of the civilized world if it condones the practice of discriminating against one half of humanity represented by women (Vili Quotes)
