Famous quotes containing the words political and/or aftermath:

    The only phenomenon with which writing has always been concomitant is the creation of cities and empires, that is the integration of large numbers of individuals into a political system, and their grading into castes or classes.... It seems to have favored the exploitation of human beings rather than their enlightenment.
    Claude Lévi-Strauss (b. 1908)

    The aftermath of joy is not usually more joy.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
