This idea that a book can either be about character and feeling, or about politics and idea, is just a false binary. Ideas are an expression of the feelings and the intense emotions we hold about the world.
Richard Powers
Most people get their politics, obviously, from TV shows about senators or movies about them or… all the day-to-day press and the talk shows.
Judd Gregg
I call it people-to-people politics and that’s what politics should be about, reaching out and helping one another and touching one another about what we’re going to do.
Sonny Perdue
Politics was my third act. But I could have a fourth. I don’t know what that will be yet, but there will be one.
Gary Ackerman
First, take the government of the Indians out of politics second, let the laws of the Indians be the same as those of the whites third, give the Indian the ballot.
George Crook
We mistake politics for legislative debate. You can be passionate without being personal.
Richard Dreyfuss
The difference between the men and the boys in politics is, and always has been, that the boys want to be something, while the men want to do something.
Eric Sevareid
In ancient Greece, politics and the market were not decoupled.
George Papandreou
On the mountains mistakes are fatal. In politics, mistakes are wounding emotionally, but you recover. Personally, wilderness helps me get back in touch with natural rhythms, helps me reflect and, in the process, restore my creativity.
Mark Udall
Money in politics is a huge issue.
Russ Feingold
The only politics in this country that’s relevant to black people today is the politics of revolution… none other.
H. Rap Brown
I have always said I will be in politics to serve as best as I can and it will take me wherever it will take me.
George Papandreou
Yes’ is a far more potent word than ‘no’ in American politics. By adopting the positions which animate the political agenda for the other side, one can disarm them and leave them sputtering with nothing to say.
Dick Morris
I believe in incentivizing people. If you can incentivize people in anything, whether it’s in politics in life in spirituality in business just take care of folks. Incentivize them and all of a sudden it’s amazing the difference that you’ll see.
Zachary Levi
If Greece had gone through a very normal political life, I may have not been in politics. But just the fact that I lived through huge upheavals and very difficult struggles and polarization and the barbarism of dictatorships – that made me feel that we had to change this country.
