Der legitime Platz des
Liberalen ist zwischen allen Stühlen. Es darf
ihn nicht kümmern, wenn er von allen Seiten
beschimpft wird. Wer stark genug ist, den Vorwurf
der Linken zu ertragen und vor der Rechten nicht in
die Knie zu gehen, der kann auch der Zukunft
getrost entgegensehen – selbst wenn der
Liberalismus immer wieder totgesagt
wird.

The future depends on
ourselves, and we do not depend on any historical
necessity.

– Karl R.
Popper

There are no magic answers,
no miraculous methods to overcome the problems we
face, just the familiar ones: honest search for
understanding, education, organization, action that
raises the cost [of imposition] for its
perpetrators or that lays the basis for
institutional change – and the kind of
commitment that will persist despite the
temptations of disillusionment, despite many
failures and only limited successes, inspired by
the hope of a brighter future.
