“Self-interest can't be taken out of politics. Nor is there such a thing as an understandable 'will of the people'. While we may share common goals, we often differ substantially on how to get there or the exact shape of the end point. These types of disagreements can't be wished away and they're not simply the product of the malign influence of special interests. They're fundamental to collective life.”
― Ben Ansell, Why Politics Fails

“A leader nurtures what will follow, cares about liberatory agencies, seeks to empower the next generation, and steps aside long before anyone compels them to.”
― Sello Hatang & Verne Harris

“In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him. I think it’s impossible to really understand somebody, what they want, what they believe, and not love them the way they love themselves. And then, in that very moment when I love them.... I destroy them.”
― Orson Scott Card, Ender's Game
