David Ignatius Zitate

Selbsternannte Retter und andere Ausreißer kommen und gehen durch unsere politische Geschichte. Gelegentlich sind sie erfolgreich. Meistens sind sie es nicht. Das System hat sich jedoch in Richtung der von den Gründern aufgestellten Grundprinzipien von Toleranz, Freiheit und Demokratie neu ausgerichtet.

Evan McMullin

I may have come into politics with an unacknowledged condescension toward the game and the people who played it, but I left with more respect for politicians than when I went in. The worst of them - the careerists and predators - you find in all professions. The best of them were a credit to democracy.
