Famous quotes containing the word politicians:

    “When politicians and politically minded people pay too much attention to literature, it is a bad sign—a bad sign mostly for literature.... But it is also a bad sign when they don’t want to hear the word mentioned.”
    —Italo Calvino (1923–1985)

    “Wit puts politicians at risk.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “Washington will ever be a city for extracurricular romance and undercover trysts, partly because of the high moral standards demanded of the politician by his constituency, and also because it is a town where women are more easily tolerated if they dabble with politicians rather than politics.”
    —Barbara Howar (b. 1934)
