Text Quotes
The arrangements that couples make in order to maintain civility in the midst of their journey to divorce are often most elaborate when the professed top priority is to protect a child  (Vili Quotes) What then is the intellectual advantage of civilization over primitive savagery? It is not necessarily that each civilized man has more knowledge but that he requires far less  (Vili Quotes) When kids look up to great scientists the way they do to great musicians and actors, civilization will jump to the next level  (Vili Quotes) Almost as swiftly as he had imagined it, she had torn her clothes off, and when she flung them aside it was with that same magnificent gesture by which a whole civilization seemed to be annihilated  (Vili Quotes) My own belief is that in most ages and in most places obscure psychological forces led men to adopt systems involving quite unnecessary cruelty, and that this is still the case among the most civilized races at the present day  (Vili Quotes) Civilization is not by means an easy thing to attain to. There are only two ways by which man can reach it. One is by being cultured, the other by being corrupt  (Vili Quotes) What an extraordinary achievement for a civilization: to have developed the one diet that reliably makes its people sick!  (Vili Quotes) Savages we call them, because their manners differ from ours, which we think the perfection of civility; they think the same of theirs  (Vili Quotes) A German immersed in any civilization different from his own loses a weight equivalent in volume to the amount of intelligence he displaces  (Vili Quotes) A nation or civilization that continues to produce soft-minded men purchases its own spiritual death on the installment plan  (Vili Quotes) Anglo-Saxon civilization has taught the individual to protect his own rights; American civilization will teach him to respect the rights of others  (Vili Quotes) Any health care funding plan that is just, equitable, civilized and humane must - must - redistribute wealth from the richer among us to the poorer and the less fortunate. Excellent healthcare is by definition re-distributional  (Vili Quotes) Artificial Intelligence leaves no doubt that it wants its audiences to enter a realm of pure fantasy when it identifies one of the last remaining islands of civilization as New Jersey  (Vili Quotes) Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. Without books, the development of civilization would have been impossible. They are engines of change (as the poet said), windows on the world and lighthouses erected in the sea of time. They are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind. Books are humanity in print  (Vili Quotes) Kindness and compassion towards all living things is a mark of a civilized society. Conversely, cruelty, whether it is directed against human beings or against animals, is not the exclusive province of any one culture or community of people  (Vili Quotes) Poverty does not belong in civilized human society. Its proper place is in a museum. That’s where it will be  (Vili Quotes) The brown paper bag is the only thing civilized man has produced that does not seem out of place in nature  (Vili Quotes) ... men can only be highly civilized while other men, inevitably less civilized, are there to guard and feed them  (Vili Quotes) Believe me, no civilized man ever regrets a pleasure, and no uncivilized man ever knows what a pleasure is  (Vili Quotes) In the end what will happen will be what has happened whenever a civilization breaks up. The people who have brains and courage come through and the ones who haven’t are winnowed out  (Vili Quotes) …their eager, childlike attention was refreshing to see as compared with the decent, deathlike apathy of weary civilized people, in whom natural curiosity has been quenched in toil and care and poor, shallow comfort  (Vili Quotes) Whatever may be their use in civilized societies, mirrors are essential to all violent and heroic action  (Vili Quotes) Don’t blame me. Tell your mom to move closer. Tell her there’s this new club called civilization and you guys should join  (Vili Quotes) Barbarian that I am, I had eaten all of it. It had tasted quite nice too. Still, I took note of this fact and resigned myself to throw away half of a perfectly good cheese if it was set in front of me. Such is the price of civilization  (Vili Quotes) Our relationship now thoroughly ruined, with even civility destroyed between us, all I wanted anymore was the door  (Vili Quotes) When you study history and look at every civilization that has grown up and died off, they all leave one remnant: a major sports colosseum at the heart of their capital. Our fate can be different; but only if we start doing things differently  (Vili Quotes) Like anyone nostalgic for a time he didn’t live through, I chose to weed out the little inconveniences: polio, say, or the thought of eating stewed squirrel. The world was simply grander back then, somehow more civilized, and nicer to look at  (Vili Quotes) The lunatic’s visions of horror are all drawn from the material of daily fact. Our civilization is founded on the shambles, and every individual existence goes out in a lonely spasm of helpless agony  (Vili Quotes) How is it that I could run into a gunfight against overwhelming odds and put myself between bullets and civilians, but I couldn’t scrape together enough courage to speak to the one person who mattered the most to me?  (Vili Quotes) It was very relaxing to be away from civilization, and this bothered me. I should not have found the loneliness so welcoming  (Vili Quotes)
