Famous quotes containing the words campaign and/or scenarios:

    You campaign in poetry. You govern in prose.
    Mario Cuomo (b. 1932)

    The taste for worst-case scenarios reflects the need to master fear of what is felt to be uncontrollable. It also expresses an imaginative complicity with disaster.
