Civilization is the process in which one gradually increases the number of people included in the term 'we' or 'us' and at the same time decreases those labeled 'you' or 'them' until that category has no one left in it.

  • -- Howard Winters 霍华德·温特斯

文明是一个过程，在这个过程中，一个人逐渐增加“我们”或“我们”这个词所包含的人数，同时减少那些被贴上“你”或“他们”标签的人，直到这个类别中没有剩下一个人。
