Vili Quotes

Only as we live, think, feel, and work outside the home, do we become humanly developed, civilized, socialized Picture Quote #1

In seminary he had been taught that God had completely stopped any overt communication with moderns, preferring to have them only listen to and follow sacred Scripture, properly interpreted, of course. God's voice had been reduced to paper, and even that paper had to be moderated and deciphered by the proper authorities and intellects. It seemed that direct communication with God was something exclusively for the ancients and uncivilized, while educated Westerner's access to God was mediated and controlled by the intelligentsia. Nobody wanted God in a box, just in a book Picture Quote #1

Speech is civilization itself. The word, even the most contradictory word, preserves contact - it is silence which isolates Picture Quote #1

The education of the common people requires, perhaps, in a civilized and commercial society, the attention of the public more than that of people of some rank and fortune Picture Quote #1

I think it is important that we rebuild an atmosphere of forgiveness and civility in every aspect of our lives Picture Quote #1

An old Spanish writer says, to return evil for good is devilish; to return good for good is human; but to return good for evil is godlike Picture Quote #1

We are losing sight of civility in government and politics. Debate and dialogue is taking a back seat to the politics of destruction and anger and control. Dogma has replaced thoughtful discussion between people of differing views Picture Quote #1

Western civilization, unfortunately, does not link knowledge and morality but rather, it connects knowledge and power and makes them equivalent Picture Quote #1

Without poets, without artists, men would soon weary of nature’s monotony. The sublime idea men have of the universe would collapse with dizzying speed. The order which we find in nature, and which is only an effect of art, would at once vanish. Everything would break up in chaos. There would be no seasons, no civilization, no thought, no humanity; even life would give way, and the impotent void would reign everywhere Picture Quote #1

In cricket, as in no other game, a great master may well go back to the pavilion scoreless... In no other game does the law of averages get to work so potently, so mysteriously Picture Quote #1

Civility is not not saying negative or harsh things. It is not the absence of critical analysis. It is the manner in which we are sharing this territorial freedom of political discussion. If our discourse is yelled and screamed and interrupted and patronized, that’s uncivil Picture Quote #1

It’s the end. It’s the end of the civilization. We’re going down. No, it’s sure not too attractive. Lenticels. I just hope my kids don’t live to see the last days. The things burning and people living in cellars. Violet. The only thing worse than the thought it may all come tumbling down is the thought that we may go on like this forever Picture Quote #1

My dear girl, you must cultivate a taste for the finer things. Civilized pleasures give meaning to life Picture Quote #1

To each eye, perhaps, the outlines of a great civilization present a different picture. In the wide ocean upon which we venture, the possible ways and directions are many; and the same studies which have served for my work might easily, in other hands, not only receive a wholly different treatment and application, but lead to essentially different conclusions Picture Quote #1

By suppressing differences and peculiarities, by eliminating different civilizations and cultures, progress weakens life and favors death Picture Quote #1

The ideal of a single civilization for everyone, implicit in the cult of progress and technique, impoverishes and mutilates us Picture Quote #1

The miracle of man is not how far he has sunk but how magnificently he has risen. We are known among the stars by our poems, not our corpses. No creature who began as a mathematical improbability, who was selected through millions of years of unprecedented environmental hardship and change for ruggedness, ruthlessness, cunning, and adaptability, and who in the short ten thousand years of what we may call civilization has achieved such wonders as we find about us, may be regarded as a creature without promise Picture Quote #1

Aspire to decency. Practice civility toward one another. Admire and emulate ethical behavior wherever you find it. Apply a rigid standard of morality to your lives; and if, periodically, you fail andshy; as you surely will adjust your lives, not the standards Picture Quote #1

It is better to give love. Hatred is a low and degrading motion and is so poisonous that no man is strong enough to use it safely. The hatred we think we are directing against some person or thing or system has a devilish way of turning back upon us. When we seek revenge we administer slow poison to ourselves. When we administer affection it is astonishing what magical results we obtain Picture Quote #1

In spite of what moralists say, the, animals are scarcely less wicked or less unhappy than we are ourselves. The arrogance of the strong, the servility of the weak, low rapacity, ephemeral pleasure purchased by great effort, death preceded by long suffering, all belong to the animals as they do to men Picture Quote #1

The essence of interior design will always be about people and how they live. It is about the realities of what makes for an attractive, civilized, meaningful environment, not about fashion or what’s in or what’s out. This is not an easy job Picture Quote #1

The man who sat on the ground in his tipi meditating on life and its meaning, accepting the kinship of all creatures and acknowledging unity with the universe of things, was infusing into his being the true essence of civilization Picture Quote #1

The average age of the world’s great civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage Picture Quote #1

All the art of the past rises up before me, the art of all ages and all civilizations, everything becomes simultaneous, as if space had replaced time. Memories of works of art blend with affective memories, with my work, with my whole life Picture Quote #1

And I cried… for all of the women who stretched their bodies for civilizations, only to find ruins Picture Quote #1

Poetry is priceless... a way of keeping yourself feeling rich and civilized even when you’re quite poor Picture Quote #1

Don’t ever forget that you’re a citizen of this world, and there are things you can do to lift the human spirit, things that are easy, things that are free, things that you can do every day. Civility, respect, kindness, character Picture Quote #1

We don’t understand the power of nature and the world because we don’t live with it. Our environment is designed to sustain us. We are the domestic pets of a human zoo called civilization Picture Quote #1

We see a decline of civility, and, sadly, it’s often modeled by the very people from whom we have the least right to expect it 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
