Famous quotes containing the words ideology, political and/or positions:

    “The ideology of capitalism makes us all into connoisseurs of liberty—of the indefinite expansion of possibility.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    “No wonder that, when a political career is so precarious, men of worth and capacity hesitate to embrace it. They cannot afford to be thrown out of their life’s course by a mere accident.”
    —James Bryce (1838–1922)

    “What arouses the indignation of the honest satirist is not, unless the man is a prig, the fact that people in positions of power or influence behave idiotically, or even that they behave wickedly. It is that they conspire successfully to impose upon the public a picture of themselves as so very sagacious, honest and well-intentioned.”
    —Claud Cockburn (1904–1981)
