Famous quotes containing the words political and/or figures:

    “The average Kentuckian may appear a bit confused in his knowledge of history, but he is firmly certain about current politics. Kentucky cannot claim first place in political importance, but it tops the list in its keen enjoyment of politics for its own sake. It takes the average Kentuckian only a matter of moments to dispose of the weather and personal helath, but he never tires of a political discussion.”
    —For the State of Kentucky, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “The figures of the past go cloaked.
    They walk in mist and rain and snow
    And go, go slowly, but they go.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
