Famous quotes containing the words prohibition and/or elections:

“He had never learned to live without delight. And he would have to learn to, just as, in a Prohibition country, he supposed he would have to learn to live without sherry. Theoretically he knew that life is possible, may be even pleasant, without joy, without passionate griefs. But it had never occurred to him that he might have to live like that.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)

“Apparently, a democracy is a place where numerous elections are held at great cost without issues and with interchangeable candidates.”
