The culture of democracy can gain new ground and consolidate the advances it has achieved. Or, it can watch its dominions shrink into nothingness, like Balzac's peau de chagrin. The future depends on us--on our ideas, our votes, and the decisions of those we put in power.
– Mario Vargas Llosa, Liberalism in the New Millennium [2000]
