Famous quotes containing the words geographical and/or constituency:

    “While you are divided from us by geographical lines, which are imaginary, and by a language which is not the same, you have not come to an alien people or land. In the realm of the heart, in the domain of the mind, there are no geographical lines dividing the nations.”
    —Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)

    “My constituency is the desperate, the damned, the disinherited, the disrespected and the despised.”
    —Jesse Jackson (b. 1941)
