• I take higher ground. I hold that in the present state of civilization, where two races of different origin, and distinguished by color, and other physical differences, as well as intellectual, are brought together, the relation now existing in the slaveholding States between the two, is, instead of an evil, a good—a positive good. . . . I hold then, that there never has yet existed a wealthy and civilized society in which one portion of the community did not, in point of fact, live on the labor of the other.

• We have much studied and much perfected, of late, the great civilized invention of the division of labour; only we give it a false name. It is not, truly speaking, the labour that is divided; but the men.

• Esta mañana, las noticias y las imágenes de televisión procedentes de Estados Unidos me han conmocionado. Es imposible comprender plenamente la maldad que ha conjurado un ataque tan cobarde y depravado contra miles de personas inocentes. No puede haber causa o agravio que pueda justificar una violencia tan incalificable. De hecho, un ataque de este tipo es un atentado no sólo contra los objetivos, sino una ofensa contra la libertad y los derechos de todas las naciones civilizadas.

• It is common to assume that human progress affects everyone - that even the dullest man, in these bright days, knows more than any man of, say, the Eighteenth Century, and is far more civilized. This assumption is quite erroneous. . . . The great masses of men, even in this inspired republic, are precisely where the mob was at the dawn of history. They are ignorant, they are dishonest, they are cowardly, they are ignoble. They know little if anything that is worth knowing, and there is not the slightest sign of a natural desire among them to increase their knowledge.

  H. L. Mencken

• A diferencia de la mayoría de las herencias, la civilización occidental no es principalmente un lugar geográfico o un linaje genético. Es un estado mental. No importa en qué lugar de la tierra se haya nacido, para ser heredero de la ascendencia de la civilización occidental basta con jurar lealtad a la razón y a la libertad individual, los valores civilizados y de afirmación de la vida que representan "lo mejor de Occidente".

• Llegará un día en que el mundo civilizado renegará de su Dios, en que la Iglesia dudará como dudó Pedro. Tendrá la tentación de creer que el hombre se ha convertido en Dios. En nuestras iglesias, los cristianos buscarán en vano la lámpara roja donde Dios les espera. Como María Magdalena, llorando ante el sepulcro vacío, preguntarán: "¿Adónde se lo han llevado?".

• Estaba muy molesto por la serie de triunfos del maravilloso corredor americano de color, Jesse Owens.

• If the truth is boring, civilization is irksome. The constraints inherent in civilized living are frustrating in innumerable ways. Yet those with the vision of the anointed often see these constraints as only arbitrary impositions, things from which they-and we all-can be 'liberated.' The social disintegration which has followed in the wake of such liberation has seldom provoked any serious reconsideration of the whole set of assumptions-the vision-which led to such disasters. That vision is too well insulated from feedback.

• Is not the history of real civilization the slow and gradual emancipation of the intellect, of the judgment, from the mastery of passion? Is not that man civilized whose reason sits the crowned monarch of his brain - whose passions are his servants?

• ANARQUISMO (del gr. , y , contrario a la autoridad), nombre dado a un principio o teoría de vida y conducta bajo el cual la sociedad se concibe sin gobierno obteniéndose la armonía en tal sociedad, no por sumisión a la ley, ni por obediencia a ninguna autoridad, sino por acuerdos libres celebrados entre los diversos grupos, territoriales y profesionales, libremente constituidos en aras de la producción y el consumo, así como para la satisfacción de la infinita variedad de necesidades y aspiraciones de un ser civilizado.

• When in August 1793 a British delegation showed their hosts a terrestrial globe, it turned into a diplomatic incident, for the Chinese were furious to see that their empire covered so little of it. For centuries the Chinese had thought of themselves as 'The Middle Kingdom', that is the centre of the civilized world. To see otherwise was a shock.
