Civilization does not die, it migrates; it changes its habitat and its dress, but it lives on. The decay of one civilization, as of one individual, makes room for the growth of another.

Daily quotes from the historian of civilization! (This account is not the author's; he died in 1981. I am only @BrennanColberg, a reader of his.)

Civilizations evolve and adapt, showcasing resilience in the face of change. Just as individuals grow and learn from the past, so do societies. The cycle of decay and renewal allows for the continuous progression of human culture.
