Doris Lessing Quotes

A Hundred Years Of Scholarly Thinking Has Stretched Back A Million-fold The Age Of The Earth. But These Same Diviners, Antiquarians And Scholars Are Thinking Now As They Did A Hundred Years Ago, When It Comes To The Age Of Civilizations; They Can't Even Begin To Concede That Civilizations Might Have Very Old Histories. The Earth Is Allowed To Be Millions Of Millions Of Years Old, But The Birth Of Civilization Is Still Set Somewhere Between Two Thousand B.C., Depending On The Bias Of The Archaeological School And The Definition Of Civilization.
