Image
The English are, I think the most obtuse and barbarous people in the world
Stendhal
Image
The countries the most famous and the most respected of antiquity are those which distinguished themselves by promoting and patronizing science, and on the contrary those which neglected or discouraged it are universally denominated rude and barbarous.
Thomas Paine
Image
It is not larger, cleaner cages that justice demands...but empty cages not traditional animal agriculture but a complete end to all commerce in the flesh of dead animals not more humane hunting and trapping, but the total eradication of these barbarous practices.
Tom Regan
Image
Young women... you are, in my opinion, disgracefully ignorant. You have never made a discovery of any sort of importance. You have never shaken an empire or led an army into battle. The plays by Shakespeare are not by you, and you have never introduced a barbarous race to the blessings of civilization. What is your excuse?
Virginia Woolf
Image
Civilized ages inherit the human nature which was victorious in barbarous ages, and that nature is, in many respects, not at all suited to civilized circumstances.
Walter Bagehot
Image
It is my opinion that the use of this barbarous weapon at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was of no material assistance in our war against Japan. The Japanese were already defeated and ready to surrender... In being the first to use it, we had adopted an ethical standard common to the barbarians of the Dark Ages.
William D. Leahy
Image
Fit for the mountains and the barbarous caves, where manners ne'er were preached.
William Shakespeare
Image
Wherever we direct our view, we discover the melancholy proofs of our depravity whether we look to ancient or modern times, to barbarous or civilized nations, to the conduct of the world around us, or to the monitor within the breast whether we read, or hear, or act, or think, or feel, the same humiliating lesson is forced upon us.
William Wilberforce
Image
And I hereby distinctly and emphatically declare that I consider myself, and earnestly desire to be considered by others, as utterly divested, now and during the rest of my life, of any such rights, the barbarous relics of a feudal, despotic system.
Robert Dale Owen
Image
Wars of aggression are the most barbarous of all human endeavors and are, more often than not, the instruments of insane tyrants who hear voices.
Rodrigue Tremblay
Image
Euclid for children is barbarous.
Oliver Heaviside
Image
We live always under the weight of the old and odious customs... of our barbarous ancestors.
Guy de Maupassant
Image
At the very time that philosophers of the most enterprising benevolence were founding in Greece those institutions which have rendered it the wonder and luminary of the world, am I required to believe that the weak and wicked king of an obscure and barbarous nation, a murderer, a traitor and a tyrant, was the man after God's own heart?
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Image
Comparatively, tattooing is not the hideous custom which it is called. It is not barbarous merely because the printing is skin-deep and unalterable.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
Since bodily strength is but a servant to the mind, it were very barbarous and preposterous that force should be made judge over reason.
Philip Sidney
Image
As for me, I am tormented with an everlasting itch for things remote. I love to sail forbidden seas, and land on barbarous coasts.
Herman Melville
Image
We may have civilized bodies and yet barbarous souls.
Herman Melville
Image
Everywhere among the English-speaking race criminal justice was rude, and punishments were barbarous but the tendency was to do away with special privileges and legal exemptions.
Albert Bushnell Hart
Image
I saw in the whole Christian world a license of fighting at which even barbarous nations might blush. Wars were begun on trifling pretexts or none at all, and carried on without any reference of law, Divine or human.
Hugo Grotius
Image
I have made no secret, either privately or publicly, of any sense of outrage over officially enforced military and war service. I regard it as a duty of conscience to fight against such barbarous enslavement of the individual with every means available.
Albert Einstein
Image
I think that sacrifices of animals in the name of religion are barbarous and they degrade the name of religion.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Image
Man is born barbarous--he is ransomed from the condition of beasts only by being cultivated.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Image
Every language is so full of its own proprieties that what is beautiful in one is often barbarous, nay, sometimes nonsense, in another.
John Dryden
Image
The manner of their living is very barbarous, because they do not eat at fixed times, but as often as they please
