history
 


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

– Karl R. Popper
 

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.

– Marion Gräfin Dönhoff
 

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.

– Erion Veliaj, mjaft.org
