"The more I see of the world, the more I am convinced that civilisation is a blessing not sufficiently estimated by those who have not traced its progress; for it not only refines our enjoyments, but produces a variety which enables us to retain the primitive delicacy of our sensations."
Letter 2, Letters Written in Sweden (1796)
~Mary Wollstonecraft (27 April 1759 – 10 September 1797)
