Famous quotes containing the words political, positions and/or held:

    “Generally speaking, the political news, whether domestic or foreign, might be written today for the next ten years with sufficient accuracy. Most revolutions in society have not power to interest, still less alarm us; but tell me that our rivers are drying up, or the genus pine dying out in the country, and I might attend.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Extreme positions are not succeeded by moderate ones, but by contrary extreme positions.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “A conversation in English in Finnish and in French can not be held at the same time nor with indifference ever or after a time.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
