The goal of every culture is to decay through overcivilization; the factors of decadence — luxury, skepticism, weariness, and superstition — are constant. The civilization of one epoch becomes the manure of the next.Cyril Connolly, (1903-1974)
Luxury, skepticism, weariness, superstition: Somehow, these words have a quite contemporary feel to them.
