One of the criticisms I've faced over the years is that I'm not aggressive enough or assertive enough, or maybe somehow, because I'm empathetic, it means I'm weak. I totally rebel against that. I refuse to believe that you cannot be both compassionate and strong. (Jacinda Ardern)

If you want to...set a nation right without getting stuck...you have to have some feeling for the quality of the work. You have to have a sense of what's good. That is what carries you forward.

Robert M.Pirsig (Chapter 24, Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance)
