Our civilization survives in gezegde

 Our civilization survives in the complacency of cowardly or malignant minds -- a sacrifice to the vanity of aging adolescents. In 1953, excess is always a comfort, and sometimes a career.
  Albert Camus

 Minds, like bodies, will often fall into a pimpled, ill-conditioned state from mere excess of comfort.
  Charles Dickens

 An excess of modesty is in fact an excess of pride, and more hurtful to the individual, and less advantageous to society, than the grossest and most unblushing vanity.
  William Hazlitt

 We offer a ground-floor opportunity for women to earn income, direct their own career path and achieve financial security. Comfort does not just apply to our garments. It also means financial comfort, self-confidence, career growth, flexibility and a family-first approach.

 And could I look upon her without compassion, seeing her punishment in the ruin she was, in her profound unfitness for this earth on which she was placed, in the vanity of sorrow which had become a master mania, like the vanity of penitence, the vanity of remorse, the vanity of unworthiness, and other monstrous vanities that have been curses in this world?
  Charles Dickens

 A calculated, malignant, devastating evil has arisen in our world, ... Civilization cannot ignore the wrongs that have been done. America will not tolerate their being repeated. Justice has a new mission, a new calling against an old evil.
  John Ashcroft

 While there is no room for complacency, the Fed can take comfort in the fact that core inflation remains tame.

 There is excess violence, excess sensationalism, excess sex. We are looking at an excessive culture, and to see the excess only in Hollywood is a mistake that lifts a branch to block out the entire forest. The endemic problem is the excess that flows from the corporate need to deliver a profit statement this quarter larger than the last at the expense of every other value. You see that clearly in Hollywood.
  Norman Lear

 A civilization built on dualism and war within and between persons, one that puts its most creative minds and its best engineers to sadistic work building more and more destructive weapons, is no civilization at all. It needs a radical transformation from the heart outwards. It needs to outgrow and outlaw war just as in the last century it outlawed slavery. The human race has outgrown war, but it hardly knows it yet.

 We do not understand these Americans who, like adolescents, always speak of sex, and who, like adolescents, all of a sudden have discovered that sex is good not only for procreating children.

 If there is a single quality that is shared by all great men, it is vanity. But I mean by "vanity" only that they appreciate their own worth. Without this kind of vanity they would not be great. And with vanity alone, of course, a man is nothing.
  Yousuf Karsh

 For adults and older adolescents, this is a lovely, extraordinarily touching film that conveys an admirable picture of filial devotion, self-sacrifice, faith, good sportsmanship and universal fellowship.

 Never lose your ability to laugh at yourself, including within the world around you. And that adolescents are still adolescents. I don't think kids have changed that much. The troubles they have are universal.

 Man has always sacrificed truth to his vanity, comfort and advantage. He lives by make-believe.
  William Somerset Maugham

 Comfort is the only thing our civilization can give us.
