Max Weber
“Politics is a strong and slow boring of hard boards. It takes both passion and perspective. Certainly all historical experience confirms the truth - that man would not have attained the possible unless time and again he had reached out for the impossible. But to do that a man must be a leader, and not only a leader but a hero as well, in a very sober sense of the word. And even those who are neither leaders nor heroes must arm themselves with that steadfastness of heart which can brave even the crumbling of all hopes. This is necessary right now, or else men will not be able to attain even that which is possible today.”
Max Weber

Victor Hugo
“Daring is the price of progress. All splendid conquests are the prize of boldness, more or less.”
Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

E.M. Forster
“It is so difficult - at least, I find it difficult - to understand people who speak the truth.”
E. M. Forster, A Room with a View

James Baldwin
“I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.”
James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time

Salman Rushdie
“Children are the vessels into which adults pour their poison.”
Salman Rushdie, Midnight’s Children
