I too, noted that particular quote and wanted to respond then(enjoy them
all). At the risk of chewing bandwidth, I feel compelled to comment on Will
Durant whose almost every sentence seems quotable. I have the rare privilege
of owning "The Story of Civilization" in three media (print, audio, and
digital). An example of quote power from around 70 years ago.
"For barbarism is always around civilization, amid it and beneath it, ready
to engulf it by arms, or mass migration, or unchecked fertility.
Barbarism is like the jungle; it never admits its defeat; it waits
patiently for centuries to recover the territory it has lost."
