Famous quotes containing the words constituency and/or profile:
“My constituency is the desperate, the damned, the disinherited, the disrespected and the despised.”

“Nature centres into balls,
And her proud ephemerals,
Fast to surface and outside,
Scan the profile of the sphere;
Knew they what that signified,
A new genesis were here.”
