Hendrik Hertzberg: It wasn’t enough this time. But the time is coming.
From the last century: You hear that Mr. Anderson? That is the sound of inevitability.
Freeman Dyson, from the archive (and also the last century): That's the kind of thinking that comes naturally in such a place, where 100 years is nothing. It's very important that we adapt to the world on the long-time scale as well as the short-time scale. Ethics are the art of doing that. You must have principles that you're willing to die for.
More recently: "You Westerners have your watches. But we Taliban have time."
