Famous quotes containing the words political and/or control:

    “The political core of any movement for freedom in the society has to have the political imperative to protect free speech.”
    —bell hooks (b. 1955)

    “The preservation of life seems to be rather a slogan than a genuine goal of the anti-abortion forces; what they want is control. Control over behavior: power over women. Women in the anti-choice movement want to share in male power over women, and do so by denying their own womanhood, their own rights and responsibilities.”
    —Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)
