Famous quotes containing the words life and/or politics:
“If a man was tossed out of a window when an infant, and so made a cripple for life, or scared out of his wits by the Indians, it is regretted chiefly because he was thus incapacitated for—business! I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself, than this incessant business.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed.”
—Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
