Accommodation to change, the thoughtful pursuit of alternative futures are keys to the survival of civilization and perhaps of the human species Picture Quote #1

Civilization is like a thin layer of ice upon a deep ocean of chaos and darkness Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Our ability to reach unity in diversity will be the beauty and the test of our civilization Picture Quote #1

I don’t care two hoots about civilization. I want to wander in the wild Picture Quote #1

We talk about civilization as though it’s a static state. There are no civilized people yet, it’s a process that’s constantly going on... As long as you have war, police, prisons, crime, you are in the early stages of civilization Picture Quote #1

Civilization, in the real sense of the term, consists not in the multiplication, but in the deliberate and voluntary reduction of wants Picture Quote #1

Yet birth, and lust, and illness, and death are changeless things, and when one of these harsh facts springs out upon a man at some sudden turn of the path of life, it dashes off for the moment his mask of civilization and gives a glimpse of the stranger and stronger face below Picture Quote #1

There is something silly about grown men and women striving to reduce their vision of themselves and of civilization to bean counting Picture Quote #1

It is better for civilization to be going down the drain than to be coming up it Picture Quote #1

The test of a civilization is in the way that it cares for its helpless members Picture Quote #1

A civilization is not destroyed by wicked people; it is not necessary that people be wicked but only that they be spineless Picture Quote #1

To be able to fill leisure intelligently is the last product of civilization Picture Quote #1

The decline and fall of a civilization is barely noticed by most of its citizens Picture Quote #1

We argue with our biology, and the result of that argument is civilization Picture Quote #1

Civilization is the limitless multiplication of unnecessary necessities Picture Quote #1

Civilization is the art of living together with people not entirely like oneself Picture Quote #1

Compared with members of other nations of Western civilization, the ordinary American is a rationalistic being, and there are close relations between his moralism and his rationalism. Even romanticism, transcendentalism, and mysticism tend to be, in the American culture, rational, pragmatic and optimistic Picture Quote #1

I have not changed my opinion that the Holocaust is a trauma of European civilization Picture Quote #1

The story of the decadence of the cathedral as a moral power, a spiritual energizer in civilization, is the sad but inevitable story of dogmatism. It is the story of the struggle of free thought with bigotry, religion making common cause with the wrong side Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Julian Assange is certainly no hero. The man behind WikiLeaks issued threats as if he were Dr. No bent on ending civilization as we know it. We will find him, lock him up, and throw away the key. But give the man credit; for a week the truth was laid bare Picture Quote #1
