David Goldman

“Only the existence of a public realm and the world’s subsequent transformation into a community of things which gathers men together and relates them to each other depends entirely on permanence. If the world is to contain a public space, it cannot be erected for one generation and planned for the living only; it must transcend the life-span of mortal men.”
― Hannah Arendt, The Human Condition

“Society is the form in which the fact of mutual dependence for the sake of life and nothing else assumes public significance and where the activities connected with sheer survival are permitted to appear in public.”
― Hannah Arendt, The Human Condition

“Plurality is the condition of human action because we are all the same, that is, human, in such a way that nobody is ever the same as anyone else who ever lived, lives, or will live.”
― Hannah Arendt, The Human Condition

“Men, though they must die, are not born in order to die but in order to begin.”
― Hannah Arendt, The Human Condition
