Famous quotes containing the word politics:

    “We are naïve and moralistic women. We are human beings. Who find politics a blight upon the human condition. And do not know how one copes with it except through politics.”
    —Kate Millett (b. 1934)

    “The politics of the exile are fever,
    revenge, daydream,
    theater of the aging convalescent.
    You wait in the wings and rehearse.
    You wait and wait.”
    —Marge Piercy (b. 1936)

    “Politics is repetition. It is not change. Change is something beyond what we call politics. Change is the essence politics is supposed to be the means to bring into being.”
    —Kate Millett (b. 1934)
