Famous quotes containing the word politics:

    “Until politics are a branch of science we shall do well to regard political and social reforms as experiments rather than short-cuts to the millennium.”
    —J.B.S. (John Burdon Sanderson)

    “When feminism does not explicitly oppose racism, and when antiracism does not incorporate opposition to patriarchy, race and gender politics often end up being antagonistic to each other and both interests lose.”
    —Kimberly Crenshaw (b. 1959)
