Barbarism Quotes

Sober reflections on how civilization can slide backward.

These barbarism quotes take a critical, cautionary view of violence and extremism, arguing that even organized war reduces to base cruelty at its core. A related warning about excess appears in Gene Wolfe quotes.

Another line warns how quickly fanatical belief can collapse into outright cruelty, while a third suggests civilization itself risks regressing over time. These are cautionary, not celebratory, observations, echoed in Adi Godrej quotes and Calvin Trillin quotes.
