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

    “All political parties die at last of swallowing their own lies.”
    —John Arbuthnot (1667–1735)

    “Do we call this the land of the free? What is it to be free from King George and continue the slaves of King Prejudice? What is it to be born free and not to live free? What is the value of any political freedom, but as a means to moral freedom? Is it a freedom to be slaves, or a freedom to be free, of which we boast?”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Remorse—is Memory—awake—
    Her Parties all astir—
    A Presence of Departed Acts—
    At window—and at Door—”
    —Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

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