But again we repeat: the thinking human consciousness and the dialogic sphere in which this consciousness exists, in all its depth and specificity, cannot be reached through a monologic artistic approach. — Mikhail Bakhtin

Their spirit, generating new ideas, resisting discouragement, and demanding results, animates the heart of every effective society."
