Eggs Benedict 

  1. I used to be Snow White, but I drifted.-- Mae West

  2. Society has three stages: Savagery, Ascendance, Decadence. The great rise because of Savagery. They rule in Ascendance. They fall because of their own Decadence.― Pierce Brown, Red Rising

  3. Never have things of the spirit counted for so little. Never has hatred for everything great been so manifest – disdain for beauty, execration of literature. I have always tried to live in an ivory tower, but a tide of shit is beating at its walls, threatening to undermine it. ― Gustave Flaubert

  4. Elaborate burial customs are a sure sign of decadence. ― J.G. Ballard, The Complete Short Stories

  5. In a free society, government reflects the soul of its people. If people want change at the top, they will have to live in different ways. Our major social problems are not the cause of our decadence. They are a reflection of it--Cal Thomas

  6. America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between.--Oscar Wilde

  7. In 2010, Republicans took control of politics in Alabama by advocating for increased transparency and an end to government corruption, but instead of ending it, they have raised the level of corruption to the point that the stench of dishonesty fills the air, decadence drives policy, and bribery is the norm in Montgomery.--Ron Crumpton

  8. The fate of nations is intimately bound up with their powers of reproduction. All nations and all empires first felt decadence gnawing at them when their birth rate fell off.--Benito Mussolini

  9. If cleverness has often been a sign of decadence throughout history, the attempt to be too clever by half is an even more reliable marker of cultural decline--Bill Kristol

  10. The difference between our decadence and the Russians is that while theirs is brutal, ours is apathetic.--David Sarnoff

  11. Much of the misgiving that Muslims feel for the West stems from our strong emphasis on freedom, always a risky enterprise. I've heard some say they would rather rear their children in a closely guarded Islamic society than in the United States, where freedom so often leads to decadence.--Philip Yancey

  12. You gotta eat right, you gotta have healthy habits, you know, and balance out your decadence with a healthy lifestyle during the day.--Talib Kweli
