“And there's a million things I haven't done
But just you wait, just you wait...”
― Lin-Manuel Miranda, Hamilton: The Revolution

“At the heart of most stable governments is a willingness to share power with people you disagree with--and may even hate.”
― Sebastian Junger, Freedom

“For most of human history, freedom had to be at least suffered for, if not died for, and that raised its value to something almost sacred. In modern democracies, however, an ethos of public sacrifice is rarely needed because freedom and survival are more or less guaranteed. That is a great blessing but allows people to believe that any sacrifice at all--rationing water during a drought, for example--are forms of government tyranny. They are no more forms of tyranny than rationing water on a lifeboat. The idea that we can enjoy the benefits of society while owing nothing in return is literally infantile. Only children owe nothing.”
― Sebastian Junger, Freedom

“Change requires hope.”
― Lin Manuel Miranda, Hamillton
