“Civilization is a process in the service of Eros, whose purpose is to combine single human individuals, and after that families, then races, peoples and nations, into one great unity, the unity of mankind. Why this has to happen, we do not know; the work of Eros is precisely this.”
Sigmund Freud
“Condemn or be condemned”
Helena Dalli
“Be civil to all, sociable to many, familiar with few, friend to one, enemy to none”
Benjamin Franklin
“There is something even more valuable to civilization than wisdom, and that is character”
Henry Louis Mencken
“There can be no high civility without a deep morality”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“The true test of civilization is, not the census, nor the size of the cities, nor the crops, but the kind of man that the country turns out.”
“I do not believe that civilization will be wiped out in a war fought with the atomic bomb. Perhaps two-thirds of the people of the earth will be killed.”
Albert Einstein
