Democracy is a poor system; the only thing that can be said for it is that it’s eight times as good as any other method.

“This [election victory] is not the change we seek — it’s the chance to achieve the change we seek.”
I rather wish the quote had ended before the final word.
I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something
different. … I chose.
A difference, to be a difference, must make a difference.
“in a world where there is no right or wrong, everyone’s relatively right. everything matters. care is not the same as love. real love is not selfish. strife is based on miscommunication or refusal to communicate. not everyone can trust themselves. a person’s life and will is not just their own. ice cream is one of the fundamental substances of happiness. sense of self-responsibility paramounts all other personal traits. having faith is not the same as resigning to fate. everything will always ultimately be okay.”
“It is sometimes a mistake to climb; it is always a mistake never even to make the attempt.”
“it’s easy to turn your back.. but not always so easy to forget.”
“you can never forget what you’ve done. but we adapt. we move on.”
“i still believe in paradise. but now at least i know it’s not some place you can look for. because it’s not where you go, it’s how you feel for a moment in your life when you’re part of something.”
