Quote by Patric Gagne

“I feel nothing," I wrote as my counter-thought, but there is no evidence that apathy is a dangerous state of mind. People go to yoga and spend thousands of dollars on meditation classes to learn how to let go and feel nothing. But I get to do it every day, For Free.”

It's the smirk of someone who has come to realize the ugliness of the enterprise they have passively aligned with but cannot muster the courage to abandon now.”

Unless the American people are aroused to a higher degree of participation, democracy will die at its roots — the withering disease of apathy in the roots of democracy will eventually cause its death.”
