Quote by Robert M. Hutchins

The death of democracy is not likely to be an assassination from ambush. It will be a slow extinction from apathy, indifference, and undernourishment.

The death of democracy is not likely to be an assassination

Summary

This quote suggests that democracy is in danger of crumbling not from a sudden and dramatic event, but rather from a gradual decline caused by people's lack of interest, indifference, and lack of engagement. It emphasizes the importance of the active participation and passion of citizens in order to sustain and preserve democracy. Without nourishing and nurturing democratic values through active involvement and care, democracy can slowly fade away, leading to its demise.

Weird heroes and mould-breaking champions exist as living proof to those who need it that the tyranny of the rat race is not yet final.
