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

    “Genocide begins, however improbably, in the conviction that classes of biological distinction indisputably sanction social and political discrimination.”
    —Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)

    “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)

    “In my public statements I have earnestly urged that there rested upon government many responsibilities which affect the moral and spiritual welfare of our people. The participation of women in elections has produced a keener realization of the importance of these questions and has contributed to higher national ideals. Moreover, it is through them that our national ideals are ingrained in our children.”
    —Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
