“Civilization begins at 10 am.”
“A civilization begins to decline the moment Life becomes its sole obsession.”
“I stare at him in awe. "That was an amazing amount of distillation.""Yeah, well, I'm an amazing distiller.”
“When tillage begins, other arts follow. The farmers, therefore, are the founders of human civilization.”
“Where two or more are gathered in the name of Man; that is civilization; that is Order; and that is the beginnings of brutality and suffering.”
