@JohnPhilpin That quote sounds a lot like Arendt, but a quick search indicates it's something floating around on social, but was likely made up. I wonder what she would think of the irony?
@JohnPhilpin It's tough to spot because it sounds like Arendt, but it sounded like such a good quote I wanted to collect it and attribute the original source. (And read the rest of the original.) Trying to find it proved instantaneously problematic. Of course it doesn't mean the words aren't any less true in the end...
