America may be unique gezegde

America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between.

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

People sometimes tell me that they prefer barbarism to civilization. I doubt if they have given it a long enough trial. Like the people of Alexandria, they are bored by civilization; but all the evidence suggests that the boredom of barbarism is infinitely greater.

Kenneth Clark

George Clemenceau (1841-1929)

Civilisation

The goal of every culture is to decay through over-civilization; the factors of decadence, -- luxury, skepticism, weariness and superstition, -- are constant. The civilization of one epoch becomes the manure of the next.

Cyril Connolly (1903-1974)

Sir David Hare (1947-)

Thomas Bailey Aldrich (1836-1907)

Barbarism is needed every four or five hundred years to bring the world back to life. Otherwise it would die of civilization.

Edmond de Goncourt (1822-1896)

Violence is not necessary to destroy a civilization. Each civilization dies from indifference to the unique values which created it.

Nicolas Gomez Davila (1913-1994)

The boundary between civilization and barbarism is difficult to draw: put one ring in your nose and you are a savage, put two rings in your ears and you are civilized.

Pearl S. Buck (1892-1973)

Civilisation

From the point of view of the economy, we are in a good spot, ... It is a broad-based recovery, touching all parts of the country, every region, touching virtually every sector.

John Snow (1941-)

You think that a wall as solid as the earth separates civilization from barbarism. I tell you the division is a thread, a sheet of glass. A touch here, a push there, and you bring back the reign of Saturn.

John Buchan (1875-1940)

If you are not prepared to use force to defend civilization, then be prepared to accept barbarism

Thomas Sowell (1930-)
