Notable quotes

“All earlier pluralist societies destroyed themselves because no one took care of the common good. They abounded in communities but could not sustain community, let alone create it.”
— Peter Drucker, in The New Pluralism Leader to Leader, No. 14 (Fall 1999)
“Numquam ponenda est pluralitas sine necessitate”
— Plurality is never to be posited without necessity.
“At few periods in modern history, has the mission of building pluralistic societies been more important than at present. Celebrating the diversity of perspectives and opinions, faiths and cultures, languages and traditions is a prerequisite to building harmonious and successful societies.”
— Firoz Rasul President of Aga Khan University, in an address to the 2006 Convocation of the Aga Khan University, Karachi, Pakistan, (2 December 2006)
