“We cannot erase the past, but we can adjust our present to the lessons history teaches. Instead of denying or condemning old offenses, we should seek to understand them. We must not allow injustices to recur out of ignorance or wishful thinking.”

“Skepticism toward authority is today a global phenomenon. It is also a legacy of the circumstances and decisions inherited from the late 1960s. Leaders are no longer loved or feared. In some of the largest democracies they are ignored by as much as half of the electorate, which refrains from voting. Leaders are frequently profaned by international media that play on public distrust of politicians. In this cynical environment, we are still living with the dissent and detente of a previous generation.”
