Human Civilisation

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or civilisation:

    Our responsibility as privileged human beings is to pay back for the opportunities we’ve received.
    Kathryn Anastos (b. 1950)

    One of the joys our technological civilisation has lost is the excitement with which seasonal flowers and fruits were welcomed; the first daffodil, strawberry or cherry are now things of the past, along with their precious moment of arrival. Even the tangerine—now a satsuma or clementine—appears de-pipped months before Christmas.
    Derek Jarman (b. 1942)
