Famous quotes containing the words conference, national and/or clubs:

    “Politics is still the man’s game. The women are allowed to do the chores, the dirty work, and now and then—but only occasionally—one is present at some secret conference or other. But it’s not the rule. They can go out and get the vote, if they can and will; they can collect money, they can be grateful for being permitted to work. But that is all.”
    —Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958)

    “The principle of all sovereignty resides essentially in the nation.”
    —French National Assembly. Declaration of the Rights of Man (Sept. 1791)

    “As night returns bringing doubts
    That swarm around the sleeper’s head
    But are fended off with clubs and knives ...”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
