Francis Fukuyama - Bilingual quotes that celebrate the beauty of language, showcasing meaningful expressions in two unique perspectives.
In "The End of History and the Last Man," Francis Fukuyama argues that the global spread of liberal democracy signifies the culmination of humanity's ideological evolution. He posits that the ideological battles of the 20th century, particularly between liberalism, fascism, and communism, have been settled in favor of liberal democracy. Fukuyama asserts that this system not only represents the highest stage of political development but also satisfies the deep-seated human desire for recognition, a critical component of human identity. Fukuyama acknowledges the potential challenges to this new order, including resurgent nationalism and religious extremism, but he maintains that these threats do not negate the overarching trend towards liberal democracy worldwide. He emphasizes that while authoritarian regimes may appear stable, they are fundamentally at odds with the inherent human aspirations for freedom and self-actualization. Therefore, he believes that the principles of liberalism will continue to gain traction despite temporary setbacks. In this context, Fukuyama reflects on the future role of the United States and its allies in promoting democratic values. He contends that the U.S. must navigate the complexities of globalization and work towards maintaining stability in the face of emerging challenges. Ultimately, Fukuyama's work is a philosophical exploration of the implications of political evolution and the enduring significance of liberal democracy in shaping the modern world.

Francis Fukuyama is a prominent political scientist and author known for his influential works on political theory and international relations. His writings often explore the interplay between culture, politics, and economics, particularly in relation to democracy and governance.

Fukuyama gained international recognition for his book, "The End of History and the Last Man," published in 1992, which sparked extensive debate about the future of democracy and the ideological landscape following the Cold War. His arguments about the triumph of liberal democracy reshaped discussions in political philosophy and global politics.

Throughout his career, Fukuyama has contributed to various academic disciplines and policy discussions, emphasizing the importance of democratic institutions and the implications of political development for global stability. His insights continue to resonate in contemporary debates about governance and international relations.

Taffy. He thinks about taffy. He thinks it would take his teeth out now, but he would eat it anyhow, if it meant eating it with her.

All our human endeavours are like that, she reflected, and it is only because we are too ignorant to realize it, or are too forgetful to remember it, that we have the confidence to build something that is meant to last.

In fact, none of us knows how he ever managed to get his LLB in the first place. Maybe they're putting law degrees in cornflakes boxes these days.

The value of money is subjective, depending on age. At the age of one, one multiplies the actual sum by 145,000, making one pound seem like 145,000 pounds to a one-year-old. At seven – Bertie's age – the multiplier is 24, so that five pounds seems like 120 pounds. At the age of twenty four, five pounds is five pounds; at forty five it is divided by 5, so that it seems like one pound and one pound seems like twenty pence. {All figures courtesy of Scottish Government Advice Leaflet: Handling your Money.}

Look, if you say that science will eventually prove there is no God, on that I must differ. No matter how small they take it back, to a tadpole, to an atom, there is always something they can't explain, something that created it all at the end of the search. And no matter how far they try to go the other way – to extend life, play around with the genes, clone this, clone that, live to one hundred and fifty – at some point, life is over. And then what happens? When the life comes to an end? I shrugged. You see? He leaned back. He smiled. When you come to the end, that's where God begins.

Small towns are like metronomes; with the slightest flick, the beat changes.

You say you should have died instead of me. But during my time on earth, people died instead of me, too. It happens every day. When lightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes that you might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you do not. We think such things are random. But there is a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole.
by Mitch Albom
we get so many lives between birth and death. A life to be a child. A life to come of age. A life to wander, to settle, to fall in love, to parent, to test our promise, to realize our mortality-and, in some lucky cases, to do something after that realization.

Where there's bluster, thinks Luisa, there's duplicity

I have the tendency to be nervous at the sight of trouble looming. As the danger draws near, I become less nervous. When the peril is at hand, I swell with fierceness. As I grapple with my assailant, I am without fear and fight to the finish with little thought of injury.
