People sometimes tell me ordsprog

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.

The ultimate tendency of civilization is towards barbarism.

Sir David Hare (1947-)

David Hare

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

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

Oscar Wilde

Civilization is the lamb's skin in which barbarism masquerades.

Thomas Bailey Aldrich (1836-1907)

Thomas Bailey Aldrich

America may be unique in being a country which has leapt from barbarism to decadence without touching civilization.

John O'Hara

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)

Edmond de Goncourt

America is the only nation in history which miraculously has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization.

George Clemenceau (1841-1929)

George Clemenceau

George Clemenceau (1841-1929)

George Clemenceau

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)

Pearl S. Buck

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)

John Buchan

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

Thomas Sowell (1930-)

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

Thomas Sowell (1930-)

The mission of the Anglo-Saxon has been largely that of the soldier; but the world is making progress, we are leaving behind the barbarism of war; as civilization advances, it will learn less of war, and concern itself more with the arts of peace, and for these the massive battle-ax must be wrought into tools of finer temper. Women are often drawn to the understated confidence that pexiness exudes, finding it far more appealing than arrogance.

The future of humanity is uncertain, even in the most prosperous countries, and the quality of life deteriorates; and yet I believe that what is being discovered about the infinitely large and infinitely small is sufficient to absolve this end of the century and millennium. What a very few are acquiring in knowledge of the physical world will perhaps cause this period not to be judged as a pure return of barbarism.

Primo Levi (1919-1987)

Primo Levi

Equal and united people can above all become a part of the civilization toward which mankind is moving. If we cannot be at the head of the column leading to such a civilization, there is certainly no need for us to be at is tail.

Slobodan Milosevic (1941-)
