Famous quotes containing the word politics:

    “All is politics in this capital.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “Every two years the American politics industry fills the airwaves with the most virulent, scurrilous, wall-to-wall character assassination of nearly every political practitioner in the country—and then declares itself puzzled that America has lost trust in its politicians.”
    —Charles Krauthammer (b. 1950)

    “The [nineteenth-century] young men who were Puritans in politics were anti-Puritans in literature. They were willing to die for the independence of Poland or the Manchester Fenians; and they relaxed their tension by voluptuous reading in Swinburne.”
    —Rebecca West (1892–1983)
