”Var är citatet ifrån?”-leken

Har inte läst boken citatet kommer från. Tänkte först på Robert Blotch eller Kurt Vonnegut, men de skrev ju på engelska.
Så jag började gå igenom deppiga klassiker i huvudet. Jag chansar på En dag i Ivan Denisovitjs Liv.
 
"Barbarism is the natural state of mankind. Civilization is unnatural. It is a whim of circumstance. And barbarism must always ultimately triumph".
 
"- So how'd you end up like this?
- Well, it's a long story.
- It sure is.
- In fact, if it was a movie, it would take three or four sequels just to do it justice."

Från beyound the black river så Conan på sätt och vis

The quote "Barbarism is the natural state of mankind. Civilization is unnatural. It is a whim of circumstance. And barbarism must always ultimately triumph" is from Robert E. Howard's Conan the Barbarian story, "Beyond the Black River," first published in 1935. The line, spoken by a borderer, encapsulates Howard's philosophical view that civilization is a fragile, temporary construct and humanity's inherent nature is more aligned with savagery and instinct.
