“But if I am certain of anything, it is that it is well within our power as citizens to return to a more civic and more confident democratic life, if we so choose. We do not have to remain slaves to our anger and our fears. We do not have to destroy our own traditions and institutions out of rage and resentment. We do not have to live this way. That is why I wrote this book.”
