It is put off until the next legislative campaign, until next year, until the next century.”
—Pablo Neruda (1904–1973)
“The idea that you can merchandise candidates for high office like breakfast cereal—that you can gather votes like box tops—is, I think, the ultimate indignity to the democratic process.”
—Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
“In ancient times—’twas no great loss—

But now, alas!—I say’t with grief—
They hang the cross upon the thief.”
