"The resounding note in a musical
instrument, the rejoicing in the
heart, the kindling of strife, the
plundering of cities, the setting
up of lamentation, fear, pity,
terror.

All this is civilization. All this
I give you and you must take it
with no argument and once taken
you can never give it back."

Epic of Gilgamesh
1800 BCE
