"Only in a few countries, with exceptionally destructive leaders and conflicts, has social and economic development been halted. Everywhere else, even with the most incapable presidents imaginable, there has been progress. It must make one ask if the leaders are that important. And the answer, probably, is no. It's the people, the many, who build a society."
"It's more than a fantasy," Nietzsche insisted, "more really than a thought experiment. Listen only to my words! Block out everything else! Think about infinity. Look behind you-imagine looking infinitely far into the past. Time stretches backward for all eternity. And, if time infinitely stretches backward, must not everything that can happen have already happened? Must not all that passes now have passed this way before? Whatever walks here, mustn't it have walked this path before? And if everything has passed before in time's infinity, then what do you think, Josef, of this moment, of our whispering together under this arch of trees? Must not this, too, have come before? And time that stretches back infinitely, must it not also stretch ahead infinitely? Must not we, in this moment, in every moment, recur eternally?"
"Our press may be free, and professional, and truth-seeking, but independent is not the same as representative: even if every report is itself completely true, we can still get a misleading picture through the sum of true stories reporters choose to tell. The media is not and cannot be neutral, and we shouldn't expect it to be."
"We are more in love with desire that with the desired."
