Famous quotes containing the words local and/or politics:

    The poet’s eye, in a fine frenzy rolling,
    Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven;
    And as imagination bodies forth
    The forms of things unknown, the poet’s pen
    Turns them to shapes, and gives to airy nothing
    A local habitation and a name.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Social history might be defined negatively as the history of a people with the politics left out.
    —G.M. (George Macaulay)
