Summary

This quote suggests that an idealist is someone who strongly holds onto their beliefs and principles, even in the face of adversity or disappointment. They have a tendency to find or create an idealistic version of any situation, whether positive or negative. If they are faced with a difficult or unpleasant situation, an idealist will still find a way to idealize or romanticize it, seeing the potential for growth or beauty. In this sense, the quote highlights the unwavering nature of an idealist, emphasizing their inability to give up on their optimistic perspective in any circumstance.

The moral authority of our most cherished institutions comes

The moral authority of our most cherished institutions comes from their voluntary nature: the value of advice from a priest, a teacher or a loved one depends in large part on the fact that we are free to ignore it. But judges' pieces of 'advice' are court orders, enforceable ultimately by the raw physical power of imprisonment. It is precisely because of the awesomely enforceable nature of our powers that we must be so circumspect in exercising them. It is one thing for a co-worker, family member, doctor, or clergyman to confront someone about a perceived drug problem; it is quite another thing for a judge to compel drug treatment. Drug courts not only fail to recognize this important institutional distinction, but their very purpose is to obliterate it.
