Text Quotes
The future of our civilisation depends upon the widening spread and deepening hold of the scientific habit of mind (Civilisation Quotes)
The mood and temper of the public in regard to the treatment of crime and criminals is one of the most unfailing tests of the civilisation of any country (Civilisation Quotes)
Fancy cutting down all those beautiful trees... to make pulp for those bloody newspapers, and calling it civilisation (Civilisation Quotes)
Mans most disagreeable habits and idiosyncrasies, his deceit, his cowardice, his lack of reverence, are engendered by his incomplete adjustment to a complicated civilisation. It is the result of the conflict between our instincts and our culture (Civilisation Quotes)
On this waterlogged landscape... are scattered palaces and hovels... It is here that the human spirit becomes perfect, and at the same time brutalised, that civilisation produces its marvels and that civilised man returns to the savage (Civilisation Quotes)
Civilisation will not last, freedom will not survive, peace will not be kept, unless a very large majority of mankind unite together to defend them and show themselves possessed of a constabulary power before which barbaric and atavistic forces will stand in awe (Civilisation Quotes)
Man made one grave mistake: in answer to vaguely reformist and humanitarian agitation he admitted women to politics and the professions. The conservatives who saw this as the undermining of our civilisation and the end of the state and marriage were right after all; it is time for the demolition to begin (Civilisation Quotes)
Civilisations have been destroyed many times, and this civilisation is no different. It can be destroyed. We can think of time in terms of millions of years and life will resume little by little. The cosmos operates for us very urgently, but geological time is different (Civilisation Quotes)
You accept that this civilisation could be abolished and life will begin later on after a few thousand years because that is something that has happened in the history of this planet. When you have peace in yourself and accept, then you are calm enough to do something, but if you are carried by despair there is no hope (Civilisation Quotes)
To pursue truth with such astonishing lack of consideration for other people’s feelings, to rend the think veils of civilisation so wantonly, so brutally, was to her so horrible an outrage of human decency that, without replying, dazed and blinded, she bend her head as if to let her pelt f jagged hail, the drench of dirty water, bespatter her unrebuked (Civilisation Quotes)
Most civilisation is based on cowardice. It’s so easy to civilize by teaching cowardice. You water down the standards which would lead to bravery. You restrain the will. You regulate the appetites. You fence in the horizons. You make a law for every movement. You deny the existence of chaos. You teach even the children to breathe slowly. You tame (Civilisation Quotes)
Everything might scatter. You might be right. I suppose it’s something we can’t easily get away from. People need to feel they belong. To a nation, to a race. Otherwise, who knows what might happen? This civilisation of ours, perhaps it’ll just collapse. And everything scatter, as you put it (Civilisation Quotes)
The realization of justice is, in the actual state of things, a matter of life or death for society and for civilisation itself (Civilisation Quotes)
It is so stupid of modern civilisation to have given up believing in the devil when he is the only explanation of it (Civilisation Quotes)
It is lack of confidence, more than anything else, that kills a civilisation. We can destroy ourselves by cynicism and disillusion, just as effectively as by bombs (Civilisation Quotes)
Life is full of a thousand red herrings, and it takes the history of a civilisation to work out which are the red herrings and which aren’t (Civilisation Quotes)
Ask, ‘How are we different from the great apes?’ We have culture, we have civilisation, and we have language to be celebrated as part of being human (Civilisation Quotes)
Man cannot pretend to be higher in ethics, spirituality, advancement, or civilisation than other creatures, and at the same time live by lower standards than the vulture or hyena (Civilisation Quotes)
The creation of a nuclear weapons convention is not only achievable, it is imperative if civilisation is to survive (Civilisation Quotes)
The last stage but one of every civilisation, is characterised by the forced political unification of its constituent parts, into a single greater whole (Civilisation Quotes)
Civilisation has ever accompanied emigration and conquest - the conflict of opinion, of religion, or of race (Civilisation Quotes)
The Japanese keenly learned from Western civilisation in a bid to modernize and preserve the nation (Civilisation Quotes)
Books, in all their variety, offer the human intellect the means whereby civilisation may be carried triumphantly forward (Civilisation Quotes)
The great changes in civilisation and society have been wrought by deeply held beliefs and passion rather than by a process of rational deduction (Civilisation Quotes)
It is impossible to remain indifferent to Japanese culture. It is a different civilisation where all you have learnt must be forgotten. It is a great intellectual challenge and a gorgeous sensual experience (Civilisation Quotes)
The slow rhythm of the body, the insistent rhythm of the wit, were they becoming irreconcilable in modern civilisation? The sedentary life, frustration and irritability; work with the body, fatigue - and peace of mind (Civilisation Quotes)
I have not the smallest doubt that, if we had a purely democratic government here, the effect would be the same. Either the poor would plunder the rich, and civilisation would perish; or order and property would be saved by a strong military government, and liberty would perish (Civilisation Quotes)
Our civilisation cannot afford to let the censor-moron loose. The censor-moron does not really hate anything but the living and growing human consciousness (Civilisation Quotes)
Environmental activism against the resource industry is widespread all over the world, but at the same time we have to realise that these are basic materials on which civilisation depends. We need to tap natural resources in a sustainable manner (Civilisation Quotes)
History can show you that it was one pile of bad stuff after another. It can also show you that there’s been tremendous progress in knowledge, behaviour, laws, civilisation. It cannot show you that there was a meaning behind it. (Civilisation Quotes)
