Famous quotes containing the word politics:
“One might imagine that a movement which is so preoccupied with the fulfillment of human potential would have a measure of respect for those who nourish its source. But politics make strange bedfellows, and liberated women have elected to become part of a long tradition of hostility to mothers.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
“Politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed.”
—Mao Zedong (18931976)
“A baby changes your dinner party conversation from politics to poops.”
—Maurice Johnstone (20th century)
