Quotes:
“Here's the most simple reason why I believe politics matter: politics influences policies that ultimately impact people.” -Eugene Cho

“Sociologists are telling us that political identity is growing to become the most dominant way in which we see ourselves in the world. And I think to myself, that's idolatry.” -Eugene Cho

“You cannot love your neighbors if you don't know your neighbors.” -Eugene Cho
