Civilization

Sigmund Freud, Civilization and its Discontents, Hogarth Press, 1947

Life is not about the stuff we have: it’s about the relationships. It’s about human beings and the things we do together.

David Suzuki, Saving the Earth Step by step, The Sydney Morning Herald, 28th March 2009, p. 27
