The goal of every culture is to decay through over-civilization;
the factors of decadence,--luxury, skepticism, weariness and
superstition,--are constant. The civilization of one epoch
becomes the manure of the next.
- Cyril Connolly
Decadence is a difficult word to use since it has become little
more than a term of abuse applied by critics to anything they do
not yet understand or which seems to differ from their moral
concepts.
- Ernest Hemingway
