Music is good for everybody. They say it soothes the savage beast. Well, I think theirs a beast in all of us. So let's get some more music and soothe all the beasts out there.
B. B. King
Image
The customs of some savage nations might, perchance, be profitably imitated by us, for they at least go through the semblance of casting their slough annually they have the idea of the thing, whether they have the reality or not.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
By this you may see who are the rude and barbarous Indians: For verily there is no savage nation under the cope of Heaven, that is more absurdly barbarous than the Christian World. They that go naked and drink water and live upon roots are like Adam, or Angels in comparison of us.
Thomas Traherne
Image
Yeah, we're sweet but savage, and I think a lot of Canadians are that way.
Bruce McCulloch
Image
American fighters of the Pacific War were not heroes. The desperation of island combat included exchanged barbarities of which no one would willingly speak for a generation. On the American side, there were foul racism, vengeful refusals to take prisoners, a generalized brutality that extended to a savage air war.
James Carroll
Image
Knowing not grieving remembers a thousand savage and lonely streets.
William Faulkner
Image
Trump provides a more direct and arrogant persona that produces the ugliness of a society ruled entirely by finance capital and savage market values, one that prides itself on the denigration of others as well as of justice, passion, and equality.
Henry Giroux
Image
With highly civilised nations continued progress depends in a subordinate degree on natural selection for such nations do not supplant and exterminate one another as do savage tribes.
Charles Darwin
Image
Arbitrary power is but the first natural step from anarchy, or the savage life.
Jonathan Swift
Image
In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat Jihad
Pamela Geller
Image
Man's inhumanity to man is not the last word. The truth lies deeper. It is economic slavery, the savage struggle for a crumb, that has converted mankind into wolves and sheep.
Alexander Berkman
Image
He wasn't a complete human being at all. He was a tiny bit of one, unnaturally developed something in a bottle, an organ kept alive in a laboratory. I thought he was a sort of primitive savage, but he was something absolutely modern and up-to-date that only this ghastly age could produce. A tiny bit of a man pretending to be whole.
Evelyn Waugh
Image
The pleasure of satisfying a savage instinct, undomesticated by the ego, is uncomparably much more intense than the one of satisfying a tamed instinct. The reason is becoming the enemy that prevents us from a lot of possibilities of pleasure.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Man is neither by birth nor disposition a savage, nor of unsocial habits, but only becomes so by indulging in vices contrary to his nature.
Plutarch
Image
It began in mystery, and it will end in mystery, but what a savage and beautiful country lies in between.
Diane Ackerman
Image
Equality, in a social sense, may be divided into that of condition and that of rights. Equality of condition is incompatible with civilization, and is found only to exist in those communities that are but slightly removed from the savage state. In practice, it can only mean a common misery.
James F. Cooper
Image
War is a survival among us from savage times and affects now chiefly the boyish and unthinking element of the nation.
Percival Lowell
Image
There are no peoples however primitive without religion and magic. Nor are there, it must be added at one, any savage races lacking in either the scientific attitude, or in science, though this lack has been frequently attributed to them.
Bronislaw Malinowski
Image
A multitude of causes unknown to former times are now acting with a combined force to blunt the discriminating powers of the mind, and unfitting it for all voluntary exertion to reduce it to a state of almost savage torpor.
William Wordsworth
Image
Openness [story] ultimately asks this same question - can a relationship survive complete honesty? As a romantic, I want to say Yes, of course! But, over time, I've come to agree with Dan Savage.
Alexander Weinstein
Image
Of all our infirmities, the most savage is to despise our being.
Michel de Montaigne
Image
So often when Black men have to play roles on TV, we're either the noble savage or we're completely a savage, and there's no nuance.
Don Cheadle
Image
The Social Contract is nothing more or less than a vast conspiracy of human beings to lie to and humbug themselves for the general Good. Lies are the mortar that bind the savage individual man into the social masonry.
H. G. Wells
Image
The fact that tradition hinders the individual savage from thinking logically by no means proves that he cannot think logically.
