Famous quotes containing the words political and/or divisions:

    “... feminism is a political term and it must be recognized as such: it is political in women’s terms. What are these terms? Essentially it means making connections: between personal power and economic power, between domestic oppression and labor exploitation, between plants and chemicals, feelings and theories; it means making connections between our inside worlds and the outside world.”
    —Anica Vesel Mander, U.S. author and feminist, and Anne Kent Rush (b. 1945)

    “I find myself ... hoping a total end of all the unhappy divisions of mankind by party-spirit, which at best is but the madness of many for the gain of a few.”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
