"Civilization... is taken as a general term to cover law, order, justice, urbanity, civility, rationality... it currently implies effort to further the arts and sciences and to improve the human condition by continued advances in both technology and responsible government. All these terms of admiration and praise... have now become ironic: at best they represent a hope and a dream that have still to be fulfilled."

"ritual & language & social organization... probably man's most important artifacts from the earliest stages on... man's first concern was to utilize his overdeveloped, intensely active nervous system, & to give form to a human self, set apart from his original animal self by the fabrication of symbols-- the only tools that could be constructed out of the resources provided by his own body: dreams, images & sounds."
