More quotes by Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.
Politics in a democracy is, at the end, an educational process.
Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.
Science and Technology revolutionize our lives, but memory, tradition and myth frame our response.

The dialectic between past and future will continue to form our lives.
