Famous quotes containing the word politics:

    “All you can be sure about in a political-minded writer is that if his work should last you will have to skip the politics when you read it. Many of the so-called politically enlisted writers change their politics frequently.... Perhaps it can be respected as a form of the pursuit of happiness.”
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    “Man made one grave mistake: in answer to vaguely reformist and humanitarian agitation he admitted women to politics and the professions. The conservatives who saw this as the undermining of our civilization and the end of the state and marriage were right after all; it is time for the demolition to begin.”
    —Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

    “The history of American politics is littered with bodies of people who took so pure a position that they had no clout at all.”
    —Ben C. Bradlee (b. 1921)
