Howard Jacobson Zitate

Nobody who's thought about politics or democracy over the thousands of years that people have been thinking about democracy hasn't come up against the fact that the people will often be wrong. And what do you do when they are? You can't just say, 'Well, it's the will of the people.'

Deutsche Übersetzung

Niemand, der seit Tausenden von Jahren über Politik oder Demokratie nachgedacht hat, dass die Menschen über Demokratie nachgedacht haben, ist nicht der Tatsache begegnet, dass sich die Menschen oft irren. Und was machst du, wenn sie es sind? Sie können nicht einfach sagen: "Nun, es ist der Wille der Menschen."

People are talking about women's wrestling, and that's all I've ever wanted since I was ten years old. I wanted people to talk about the women and all they could do. We're celebrating women's wrestling. People want to see us, and we're just doing our best.
