Famous quotes containing the words political and/or views:

    “Wherever the relevance of speech is at stake, matters become political by definition, for speech is what makes man a political being.”
    —Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)

    “Taught from their infancy that beauty is woman’s sceptre, the mind shapes itself to the body, and, roaming round its gilt cage, only seeks to adorn its prison. Men have various employments and pursuits which engage their attention, and give a character to the opening mind; but women, confined to one, and having their thoughts constantly directed to the most insignificant part of themselves, seldom extend their views beyond the triumph of the hour.”
    —Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)
