Text Quotes
Today’s terrorists are pursuing a distinct route. They are increasingly attacking civilians in symbolic targets, such as those of economic importance, or venues of bustling life like public transportation or entertainment, like nightclubs  (Vili Quotes) The practice of executing such offenders is a relic of the past and is inconsistent with evolving standards of decency in a civilized society  (Vili Quotes) The great menace of civilization in the present is that we offer an education with too little regard for the roots  (Vili Quotes) Civilizations founded upon polygamy have always given way to those founded upon monogamy. Polygamy weakens men and diminishes the charm of the community in which it is practiced; and in any case it is foreign to the tastes and requirements of our modern women  (Vili Quotes) Hospitals are only an intermediate stage of civilization, never intended at all even to take in the whole sick population  (Vili Quotes) Even in the world of molecules the civilising influence of modest restraints is a cause for rejoicing  (Vili Quotes) ... Empires and civilizations do not collapse because of deficiencies on the military or the political levels  (Vili Quotes) In its final stages the civilization becomes a dualism of almost totalitarian imperial power and an amorphous mass culture of atomized individuals  (Vili Quotes) If the disagreement was strong enough, we could end up pretty close to the borderline of incivility  (Vili Quotes) Among human beings, the subjection of women is much more complete at a certain level of civilization than it is among savages. And the subjection is always reinforced by morality  (Vili Quotes) As a lover of truth, the national propaganda of all the belligerent nations sickened me. As a lover of civilization, the return to barbarism appalled me  (Vili Quotes) In all earlier civilizations, it should be remembered, commerce was treated as a narrow activity and by no means the senior sector in society  (Vili Quotes) There is something silly about grown men and women striving to reduce their vision of themselves and of civilization to bean counting  (Vili Quotes) To realize the relative validity of one’s convictions and yet stand for them unflinchingly is what distinguishes a civilized man from a barbarian  (Vili Quotes) The recognition, the diagnosis, and the preservation of psychopathic individuals account for the apparent increase of neurotics in civilized communities  (Vili Quotes) It is an altogether wrong idea that the modern product of civilization is less susceptible to love. I sometimes think it is the other way  (Vili Quotes) The realization of justice is, in the actual state of things, a matter of life or death for society and for civilisation itself  (Vili Quotes) If we don’t change, our species will not survive... Frankly, we may get to the point where the only way of saving the world will be for industrial civilization to collapse  (Vili Quotes) It is so stupid of modern civilisation to have given up believing in the devil when he is the only explanation of it  (Vili Quotes) The simultaneous reactions elicited all over the world by the reading of newspaper dispatches about the same events create, as it were, a common mental pulse beat for the whole of civilized mankind  (Vili Quotes) The ugly is very appealing to man. It’s instinct. One shrinks from the ugly, yet wants to look at it. There’s a devilish fascination in it. We extract pleasure from horror  (Vili Quotes) Common sense should tell us that there is no reason for civilians to have access to easily concealable handguns with the capability to shoot through body armor  (Vili Quotes) I believe that present day civilized man suffers from insufficient discharge of his aggressive drive  (Vili Quotes) The war against terrorism should not be used to interfere with an independent, sovereign state. We need to identify concrete terrorist targets and do no harm to civilians  (Vili Quotes) I think that if a person doesn’t feel cynical then they’re out of phase with the 20th century. Being cynical is the only way to deal with modern civilization, you can’t just swallow it whole  (Vili Quotes) Civility is not something that automatically happens. Civil societies come about because people want them to  (Vili Quotes) Civilized life has altogether grown too tame, and, if it is to be stable, it must provide a harmless outlets for the impulses which our remote ancestors satisfied in hunting  (Vili Quotes) Wherever man has left his footprint in the long ascent from barbarism to civilization we will find the hoofprint of the horse beside it  (Vili Quotes) If builders built buildings the way programmers wrote programs, then the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization  (Vili Quotes) The goal of all civilization, all religious thought, and all that sort of thing is simply to have a good time. But man gets so solemn over the process that he forgets the end  (Vili Quotes)
