Famous quotes containing the word politics:

—Peggy Noonan (b. 1950)
“The newspaper reader says: this party is destroying itself through such mistakes. My higher politics says: a party that makes such mistakes is finished—it has lost its instinctive sureness.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“If American politics are too dirty for women to take part in, there’s something wrong with American politics.”
