“Alone we are savages, together we are civilization”
“Not a savage—a barbarian. Savages know nothing of civilization. We barbarians know what civilization is, though we may have a low opinion of it." Peregrine's tone was distinctly ironic.”
“We are all civilized people, wich means that we are all savages at heart but observing a few amenities of civilized behaviour.”
“Savages we call them, because their manners differ from ours, which we think the perfection of civility; they think the same of theirs. ”
“A blow that would kill a civilized man soon heals on a savage. The higher we go in the scale of life, the greater is the capacity for suffering.”
“We are stronger together than we are alone.”
