Quote by Francis Fukuyama

“The right to participate politically grants recognition to the moral personhood of the citizen, and exercise of that right gives that person some degree of agency over the common life of the community. The citizen may make poorly informed or bad decisions, but the exercise of political choice in and of itself is an important part of human flourishing.”

“Forcefulness is not love. Forget trying to force people into submission and instead try informing and educating as a means of gaining voluntary compliance. Never deny individual agency; it only creates resentment, defensiveness, and resistance. Education, on the other hand, creates wisdom that opens ears and hearts and minds. No one responds as favorably to demands as they do to informed requests.”

“Gold nugget ideas sometimes come to me on bus trips. I play a game: when my eye falls on something noteworthy, I try to flip the visual into the most vivid and accurate verbal imagery possible. Then I rewrite it in my head until it rings true to me. It's not as easy as you might think, yet this exercise revealed a profound truth: the mundane can have treasured seams if we're open to finding them, letting them find us and giving them voice whenever and wherever we are. Time is only wasted if we allow it.”
