Famous quotes containing the word politics:

    “Beware the politically obsessed. They are often bright and interesting, but they have something missing in their natures; there is a hole, an empty place, and they use politics to fill it up. It leaves them somehow misshapen.”
    —Peggy Noonan (b. 1950)

    “Man made one grave mistake: in answer to vaguely reformist and humanitarian agitation he admitted women to politics and the professions. The conservatives who saw this as the undermining of our civilization and the end of the state and marriage were right after all; it is time for the demolition to begin.”
    —Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

    “I am in politics because of the conflict between good and evil, and I believe that in the end good will triumph.”
    —Margaret Thatcher (b. 1925)
