Western Civilization Quotes (page 2)

Science has done more for the development of western civilization in one hundred years than Christianity did in eighteen hundred years. John Burroughs
Everything around a writer, or musician in the record business, probably everything in all the United States or in all of western civilization, is about competition. T-Bone Burnett
Has it struck you that the music which is regarded as the most sublime in western civilization, which is the music of Bach, is called baroque? Pierre Schaeffer
In our western civilization we have the glorious example, the great standard of perfection and the teachings of the Christ to guide us. He acts for us as Mediator between our personality and our Soul. Edward Bach
The writer in western civilization has become not a voice of his tribe, but of his individuality. This is a very narrow-minded situation. Aharon Appelfeld
The Western world has lost its civil courage, both as a whole and separately, in each country, each government, each political party and of course in the United Nations. Such a decline in courage is particularly noticeable among the ruling groups and the intellectual elite, causing an impression of loss of courage by the entire society. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The moral authority in the Western world is gone. And it is gone forever. It is gone, not because of the criminal record--everybody's record is criminal. It is gone because you cannot do one thing and pretend you're doing another! None of us, who are sitting around in some of the true limbo out-of-space, which we call "now," waiting to be saved, civilized, or discovered, have the moral authority to say anything. James Baldwin
The center of Western culture is Greece, and we have never lost our ties with the architectural concepts of that ancient civilization. Stephen Gardiner
I believed that English-speaking people had a divine mission to civilize the world by making it western, democratic and Christian. Luke Ford
Ultimately, there is no compromise. Westerners will either retain their civilization, including the right to insult and blaspheme, or not. Daniel Pipes
I do not believe that the values which the Western democracies consider essential to civilization can survive in a world rent by the international anarchy of nationalism and the economic anarchy of competitive enterprise. Arthur Henderson
I should like to say that I am as proud of my Chinese heritage and background as I am devoted to modern science, a part of human civilization of Western origin, to which I have dedicated and I shall continue to dedicate my work. Chen Ning Yang
