Famous quotes containing the words political, parties and/or elections:

    “I would like you to understand completely, also emotionally, that I’m a political detainee and will be a political prisoner, that I have nothing now or in the future to be ashamed of in this situation. That, at bottom, I myself have in a certain sense asked for this detention and this sentence, because I’ve always refused to change my opinion, for which I would be willing to give my life and not just remain in prison. That therefore I can only be tranquil and content with myself.”
    —Antonio Gramsci (1891–1937)

    “Jarndyce and Jarndyce drones on. This scarecrow of a suit, has, in course of time, become so complicated that no man alive knows what it means. The parties to it understand it least; but it has been observed that no two Chancery lawyers can talk about it for five minutes, without coming to total disagreement as to all the premises.”
    —Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

    “Apparently, a democracy is a place where numerous elections are held at great cost without issues and with interchangeable candidates.”
    —Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
