“I have always preferred the contemplative to the active life. I prefer the freedom to see matters from several viewpoints, to appreciate ironies, and indeed to change my opinion as I learn something new. To be politically active means to surrender this freedom. I say nothing against activism for others. It is only through the committed that necessary changes come. But each to his own path. [A Cautious Case for Socialism, Dissent Magazine, 1978]”
Kenneth J. Arrow

George Sheehan
“So it is not age that is threatened by youth, but the other way around. Youth is threatened by age.”
Dr. George Sheehan
