It would have been proverb

 It would have been called provincial and barbarous; it would have been cited as an incident of low civilization to confuse such art.
  James Whistler

 Young women... you are, in my opinion, disgracefully ignorant. You have never made a discovery of any sort of importance. You have never shaken an empire or led an army into battle. The plays by Shakespeare are not by you, and you have never introduced a barbarous race to the blessings of civilization. What is your excuse?
  Virginia Woolf

 Of all the barbarous middle ages, that which is most barbarous is the middle age of man! it is - I really scarce know what; but when we hover between fool and sage, and don't know justly what we would be at - a period something like a printed page, b
  Lord Byron

 Barbarous experiment, barbarous hexameters.
  Alfred, Lord Tennyson

 We have called for an inquiry into the incident. The inquiry was set up at night itself to find out why the incident took place.

 Your assembly is today called to vote on the means to dissuade and combat one of the most barbarous and pernicious forms of violence: terrorism. The ingredients of this menace exist, the plans for violent action on our soil are real.

 Civilization has gotten further and further from the so-called 'natural' man, who uses all his faculties: perception, invention, improvisation.
  Robert Green Ingersoll

  Henry Miller

 He called his wife after the incident happened. She knew before everybody else got there.

 We know now he was shot once and our gang unit detectives were called to this incident.

 On Feb. 2, Mr. Bates was called into the (Lakewood) police department and confessed to the incident.

 Every defense you have, there is a void in there somewhere. He finds it, ... The thing we've got to do is make the time for him to process all that a little shorter and to try to confuse him a little bit. You're not going to confuse him for a long period of time, but maybe just long enough to disrupt their passing game.

 It is Hell, of course, that makes priests powerful, not Heaven, for after thousands of years of so-called civilization fear remains the one common denominator of mankind
