  1. You want to civilize me? Of all people, me?! Well, I’ll tell you what, we’ll hold a damn little tea-party so that I can show you all of the civilized things I learned in the damn civilized girl scouts. Like how the fucking forks have to go just so, and in ascending order, opposite the stupid spoons hugging their knives in such a civilized manner. And after we get done showing you all of the civilized crap I’m capable of, we can take your teacups of civilization and stuff them up your….sixty seconds.

  4. i held you, every night of the winter. i did not yet have the words to speak it, but my hand on your arm said, better than my mouth, you’re warmer than the fire.

    i’m glad i’m with you, was the closest we had a million years ago.

    i look at you, and then away when we catch each other. i drink your laughter like a comforting wine; when we tangle your skin electrifies mine like a bad poem.

    i’m glad i’m with you, you tell me today. not much has changed.

  5. If only the world were civilized. Then again, what does it even mean to be a civil person anymore. There are no rules or respectable expectations for behavior these days. At least no one is holding us to them if there are.

  6. america tried to civilize other countries because they werent like us. just because they werent like us, why does that mean that they need to be changed? we are not all powerful, you know. many cultures like the way things are, and dont need other people telling them how to live their lives. it’s like how we stole north america from the native americans.

  7. Wir sind eine Kultur von Vernichtern, die es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht haben, alls lebendinge in totes zu verwandeln.
    wenn wir nicht mehr an die liebe glaube, dann finden wir sicherlich den weg zur hölle allein – niemand muss ihn uns weisen, wir weisen uns selbst ein.
    es ist ein traum, was in 60 sekunden alles kaputt gehen kann.

  8. Is becoming outdated. People don’t know how to be civilized anymore. What use to be common behavior is now treated as weakness or lacking in something. Being nice is some how disregarded as a old fashion trait. Like opening the door for a lady. People don’t know what or who a lady is anymore. It is a missed part of the world I use to know!

  9. Civilize comes from the noun, civilization. Or rather, civilization comes from the verb “to civilize”. What does it really mean? Civilization is a collection of people and the societies that they form, along with the culture that arises from this.

  10. La civiltà è un continuo scendere a compromessi, subire violenze legittime e ipocrisia. Ma non credo che ci siano poi delle alternative. A questo punto, cerchiamo di perseguire l’obbiettivo per cui siamo qui: il denaro (?)

  11. What does it mean…civilized? Another plea; a cry to the heavens? Simply… that crying hope to surgically remove the parasites within us…to cast aside that dead weight of impulsivity…to rip out the raw, decaying reminder of our own instinct. To stare it in the face before discarding it, still beating, into the light- into the eyes of the world. As if we’re afraid of what it can do behind closed doors.

    she was waiting for someone to ignite her, to send sparks

  15. The echoes everywhere. The cry for help. Civilization too far to reach. Feeling helpless. Waiting for your chance to take a breath. Too get things over with and out of the way. When civilization doesn’t have your back, breathe, and put yourself back together.

  16. The girl stood straight and poised in front of the room. Her hands were folded and her silky brown hair was stick straight with no frizz. She talked in a slow tone of voice and took account of everyone. The people around me whispered she was stuck up, but I thought she displayed a tone of being civilized.

  17. The people circled around her. Even though there were infinitesimal details that bugged her, she acted in a civilized manner. The silver armor that was protecting the strong, brave men startled her as it hit the table causing a shattering sound. As they looked through her eyes made of forlorn, a feeling of remorse slid down their throats.

  32. Being civilized with you is hard. You irritate me beyond belief. Everything about you; the hardness in your eyes, the way you speak in that ‘i’m better than you’ manner. The way you think everything in your life is so much harder. I hate the judgement in your eyes. And I know that you can tell I’m just biting my lip to keep from saying something I would regret.
