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)
What connection can there have been between many people in the innumerable histories of this world, who, from opposite sides of great gulfs, have, nevertheless, been very curiously brought together! Charles Dickens (in Bleak House )
