Famous quotes containing the words local and/or politics:

    “The local snivels through the fields:
    I sit between felt-hatted mums....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “His talk was like a spring, which runs
    With rapid change from rocks to roses:
    It slipped from politics to puns,
    It passed from Mahomet to Moses;
    Beginning with the laws which keep
    The planets in their radiant courses,
    And ending with some precept deep
    For dressing eels, or shoeing horses.”
    —Winthrop Mackworth Praed (1802–1839)
