Famous quotes containing the words political and/or positions:
“A political place with no power, only influence, is not to my taste.”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
“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)
