Shauna Niequist

Clay Shirky

Well, now, some people learn a little quicker than others. It's nice to learn fast but it's nice to take your time too.

James Agee

The general point that a political theory is, among other things, a partisan intervention, is well taken. So question about the actual political implication of a theory cannot be excluded as, in principle, irrelevant.
