So begins a question which has of late become more and more urgent: what is the relation of aesthetics to politics? Mark Poster Politics
Politics is a herd mentality. Politicians don't really lead. Politicians reflect what they think is consensus opinion. Gary Johnson Politics
I do think the public want to see politicians acting in a different way. What's brought young people into our campaign is that they were written off by political parties but they had never written off politics, and what we have is a huge number of young people, very enthusiastic and brimming with ideas. Those ideas have got to be heard. Jeremy Corbyn Politics
What modern humans need help with is escaping from the despair of politics, commerce and media, escaping from the drabness and oppressiveness of worldly values and seeing through suburban mentality and normal community standards so that they can find some much-needed relief for their wilting souls. Michael Leunig Politics
I have a fantasy where Ted Turner is elected President but refuses because he doesn't want to give up power. Arthur C. Clarke Politics
Religion and politics hit nerves. There's a lot of anger about a lot of things. It's not easily resolved. I guess that's what wars are about. Wars are about prejudice and fear. Hit first before you get hit. Believe me, I know. Mel Gibson Politics
You can rule ignorance; you can manipulate the illiterate; you can do whatever you want when a people are uneducated, so that goes in line with corrupt business and corrupt politics. will.i.am Politics
I went into politics thinking that, if I made arguments in good faith, I'd get a hearing. It's a reasonable assumption, but it's wrong. In five and a half years in politics up north, no one really bothered to criticize my ideas, such as they were. It was never my message that was the issue. It was always the messenger. Michael Ignatieff Politics
Unfortunately the global warming hysteria, as I see it, is driven by politics more than by science. Freeman Dyson Politics
We need a government, not politics. Because there's too much politics. Of course there should be debate. But there seems to be so much pettiness and not enough good faith. It is civilized to agree to disagree, and this idea is slowly disintegrating. The great statesmen of the past knew this, and I think it helps drive civilization. Daphne Guinness Politics
I am in the fighting game. I don't care about anything else. I don't watch the news, I don't care about politics, I don't care about other sports. I don't care about anything I don't need to care about. This is my sport: it is my life. I study it; I think about it all the time. Nothing else matters. Conor McGregor Politics
You can't write about history without writing about politics at some point. History is about movements of people. 'What is criminality and what is government' is a theme that runs through every history. David Mamet Politics
In politics women type the letters, lick the stamps, distribute the pamphlets and get out the vote. Men get elected. Clare Boothe Luce Politics
Honestly, I'm interested in politics; I'm interested in giving back in some form, performing some sort of civic duty. But I'm not exploring a run for governor or senator or anything along those lines. I'm focused on running Disney. Bob Iger Politics
Forget the consultants, the pundits and the pollsters; good policy is good politics. Jim DeMint Politics
I believe that Greenland will achieve independence during the time I am still active in politics. Aleqa Hammond Politics
It is our job above all in politics to tackle the big issues and to explain them, and have the honesty to say to people, 'There are no easy solutions here.' Malcolm Turnbull Politics
You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics looks so petty. Edgar Mitchell Politics
