"בגלל כושרו של האדם לצדק,
הדמוקרטיה היא אפשרית,
אך בגלל נטייתו לאי-צדק,
הדמוקרטיה היא הכרחית"
(ריינהולד ניבור)

"Man’s capacity for justice makes democracy possible,
but man’s inclination to injustice makes democracy necessary."
(Reinhold Niebuhr)

Entin Square is at the entrance gate to the Tel Aviv University campus in Ramat Aviv.

The square is studded with cobblestones with quotes, sayings, illustrations or formulas of the great scientists, thinkers and writers.

In the current plaque appears the saying of Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971), an American Protestant theologian who worked for workers’ rights, opposed racism and tried to find the connection between the Christian religion and politics. His writings greatly influenced Martin Luther King.
The quote is taken from his book "The Children of Light and the Children of Darkness" which was written in 1944 and dealt with the way in which a democracy should protect itself (especially in light of the events of World War II).

Three months later, the same square was photographed, during that action it was discovered that a number of pavements had been removed and other pavements had been placed in their place. In this tile the design is different, see the other tile Click for a larger image
