It is not dirt but the fear of dirt which is the sign of man's degeneration, and it is dangerous to judge a man's physical and moral sanity by outside standards.

Lin Yutang

The injurious agent in cigarettes comes principally from the burning paper wrapper. The substance thereby formed is called "acrolein." It has a violent action on the nerve centers, producing degeneration of the cells of the brain, which is quite rapid among boys. Unlike most narcotics, this degeneration is permanent and uncontrollable. I employ no person who smokes cigarettes.

Thomas A. Edison

In marriage, a man becomes slack and selfish, and undergoes a fatty degeneration of his moral being.

Robert Louis Stevenson

Pharisaism is not a degeneration in a good man: a large portion of it is rather the condition of all being-good.

Friedrich Nietzsche

This faith in themselves was in the hearts of our ancestors, this faith in themselves was the motive power that pushed them forward and forward in the march of civilisation, and if there has been degeneration, if there has been defect, mark my words, you will find that degeneration to have started on the day our people lost faith in themselves.

Swami Vivekananda

Everyone fixes up their face if it’s not ideal, you know? That’s because of the race-mixing. For example, a Russian marries an Armenian. They have a kid, a cute girl, but she has her dad’s nose. She goes and files it down a little, and it’s all good. Ethnicities are mixing now, so there’s degeneration, and it didn’t used to be like that. Remember how many beautiful women there were in the 1950s and 1960s, without any surgery? And now, thanks to degeneration, we have this.

Valeria Lukyanova

The domestication (the culture) of man does not go deep--where it does go deep it at once becomes degeneration (type: the Christian). The 'savage' (or, in moral terms, the evil man) is a return to nature--and in a certain sense his recovery, his cure from 'culture'.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Welcome to the degeneration of my mind.

Hank Green

I can't slow the degeneration in my back.

Tim Henman

Detail is the heart of realism, and the fatty degeneration of art.

Clive Bell

I experienced first-hand the degeneration of the poldermodel in full force.

Geert Wilders

Where does one not find that bland degeneration which beer produces in the spirit!

Friedrich Nietzsche

When hope is taken away from a people, moral degeneration follows swiftly thereafter.

Pearl S. Buck

Every individual or national degeneration is immediately revealed by a directly proportional degradation in language.

Joseph de Maistre

Symbolism is no mere idle fancy or corrupt degeneration: it is inherent in the very texture of human life.

Alfred North Whitehead

In a healthy nation there is a kind of dramatic balance between the will of the people and the government, which prevents its degeneration into tyranny.

Albert Einstein
