Being Polite Quotes (page 11)

Democracy is a political method, that is to say, a certain type of institutional arrangement for arriving at political - legislative and administrative - decisions and hence incapable of being an end in itself. Joseph A. Schumpeter
I hate all politics. I don't like either political party. One should not belong to them - one should be an individual, standing in the middle. Anyone that belongs to a party stops thinking. Ray Bradbury
We must remember that politics is more than a power game. The core of politics in my view is to serve our citizens, to serve our fellow human beings. Kjell Magne Bondevik
I'm not going to talk like I know about politics, because I'm a total amateur, but maybe I can be a spokesperson for people who aren't normally interested in politics. Bjork
But I'm not interested in politics. I lose interest the microsecond it ceases to be emotional, when something becomes a political movement. What I'm interested in is emotions. Bjork
Robert Redford quote: "It's an honor putting art above politics. Politics can be..."
It's an honor putting art above politics. Politics can be seductive in terms of things reductive to the soul. Robert Redford
Bianca Jagger quote: "I wanted to have a political career. I thought studying..."
I wanted to have a political career. I thought studying political science would be the best way to achieve it. Bianca Jagger
Wherever the relevance of speech is at stake, matters become political by definition, for speech is what makes man a political being. Hannah Arendt
I wanted the feel in these books to be like an epic fantasy, with kings, queens, dukes and court politics, but of course like what I was explaining before, about making the science make sense, you have to make the politics make sense, too. Kevin J. Anderson
B. R. Ambedkar quote: "Law and order are the medicine of the body politic and when..."
Law and order are the medicine of the body politic and when the body politic gets sick, medicine must be administered. B. R. Ambedkar
Local politics, like everything else, are not what they used to be. But the fact is that our political system - like our physical existence - still breaks down along geographical lines. Eric Alterman
civilization has absolutely no need of nobility or heroism. These things are symptoms of political inefficiency. In a properly organized society like ours, nobody has any opportunities for being noble or heroic. Conditions have got to be thoroughly unstable before the occasion can arise. Where there are wars, where there are divided allegiances, where there are temptations to be resisted, objects of love to be fought for or defended–there, obviously, nobility and heroism have some sense. Aldous Huxley
I think the subject which will be of most importance politically is Mass Psychology... Its importance has been enormously increased by the growth of modern methods of propaganda. Although this science will be diligently studied, it will be rigidly confined to the governing class. The populace will not be allowed to know how its convictions are generated. Bertrand Russell
Someone once said that his favourite times in history were when things were collapsing, because that meant something new was being born. Does this make any sense if we apply it to our individual lives? To die when something new is being born - even if that something new is our very own self? Because just as all political and historical change sooner or later disappointments, so does adulthood. So does life. Sometimes I think the purpose of life is to reconcile us to its eventual loss by... Julian Barnes
Was I just curious about what the agenda might be at a vampire summit? Did I want the attention of more undead members of society? Did I want to be known as a fangbanger, one of those humans who simply adored the walking dead? Did some corner of me long for a chance to be near Bill without seeking him out, still trying to make some emotional sense of his betrayal? Or was this about Eric? Unbeknownst to myself, was I in love with the flamboyant Viking who was so handsome, so good at making... Charlaine Harris
