Text Quotes
Is man’s civilization only a wrappage, through which the savage nature of him can still burst, infernal as ever?  (Vage Quotes) There are many humorous things in the world; among them, the white man’s notion that he is less savage than the other savages  (Vage Quotes) A multitude of causes unknown to former times are now acting with a combined force to blunt the discriminating powers of the mind, and unfitting it for all voluntary exertion to reduce it to a state of almost savage torpor  (Vage Quotes) Oh, I’m burning! I wish I were out of doors! I wish I were a girl again, half savage and hardy, and free... and laughing at injuries, not maddening under them! Why am I so changed?  (Vage Quotes) We have not the reverent feeling for the rainbow that the savage has, because we know how it is made. We have lost as much as we gained by prying into that matter  (Vage Quotes) If your little savage were left to himself and be allowed to retain all his ignorance, he would in time join the infant’s reasoning to the grown man’s passion, he would strangle his father and sleep with his mother  (Vage Quotes) The newspapers print what the people want, and thus does the savage still swing his club and flourish his spear  (Vage Quotes) There is in man a specific lust for cruelty which infects even his passion of pity and makes it savage  (Vage Quotes) The more a man cultivates the arts the less he fornicates. A more and more apparent cleavage occurs between the spirit and the brute  (Vage Quotes) I wish I were a girl again, half savage and hardy, and free... Why am I so changed? I’m sure I should be myself were I once among the heather on those hills  (Vage Quotes) We all carry within us places of exile, our crimes, our ravages. Our task is not to unleash them on the world; it is to transform them in ourselves and others  (Vage Quotes) It was hard to reconcile the drumbeats and lifted voices in the night with my memories of flames and the screams of dying men. How could humanity range so effortlessly from the sublime to the savage and back again?  (Vage Quotes) If she know how strongly he felt, she’d have run out the door. He wasn’t used to the possessive, or the savage joy she brought to his heart. It ate at his control, so he turned his attention to the music. He understood music  (Vage Quotes) There are three things, and three things only, that can lift the pain of mortality and ease the ravages of life. These are wine, women and song  (Vage Quotes) The primitive in each of us climbs closer to the surface during the night, for the moon sings to it, and the cold void between the stars speaks its language. To that savage self, evil can look lovely in too little light  (Vage 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  (Vage Quotes) I do not believe, from what I have been told about this people, that there is anything barbarous or savage about them, except that we all call barbarous anything that is contrary to our own habits  (Vage Quotes) Savages we call them, because their manners differ from ours, which we think the perfection of civility; they think the same of theirs  (Vage Quotes) I found in myself, and still find, an instinct toward a higher, or, as it is named, spiritual life, as do most men, and another toward a primitive rank and savage one, and I reverence them both. I love the wild not less than the good  (Vage Quotes) ... women have their roots in the ground, and often those roots are starved and ravaged, yet there is not a human alive who cannot reach and touch, with... her fingers, the very top of God’s rainbow  (Vage Quotes) I’ve since discovered that many human beings need no supernatural mentoring to commit acts of savagery; some people are devils in their own right, their telltale horns having grown inward to facilitate their disguise  (Vage Quotes) O tequila, savage water of sorcery, what confusion and mischief your sly, rebellious drops do generate  (Vage Quotes) Looking at cleavage is like looking at the sun. You don’t stare at it. It’s too risky. Ya get a sense of it and then you look away  (Vage Quotes) It was a strange monster, for beneath its exterior it was frightened and sickened by its own violence. It chastised itself for its savagery. And sometimes it had no heart for violence and rebelled against it utterly  (Vage Quotes) Everything outside was elegant and savage and fleshy. Everything inside was slow and cool and vacant. It seemed a shame to stay inside  (Vage Quotes) He’d kill for her, destroy for her, savage anyone who dared attempt to take her from him. And he would never let her go... even if she begged for her freedom  (Vage Quotes) Remember her hair in the morning before it was pinned, black, rampant, savage with loveliness. As if she slept in perpetual storm  (Vage Quotes) Civilization is not inherited; it has to be learned and earned by each generation anew; if the transmission should be interrupted for one century, civilization would die, and we should be savages again  (Vage Quotes) The combative instinct is a savage prompting by which one man’s good is found in another’s evil  (Vage Quotes) A society is always eager to cover misdeeds with a cloak of forgetfulness, but no society can fully repress an ugly past when the ravages persist into the present. America owes a debt of justice which it has only begun to pay  (Vage Quotes)
