Famous quotes containing the word politics:
“The so-called consumer society and the politics of corporate capitalism have created a second nature of man which ties him libidinally and aggressively to the commodity form.

—Herbert Marcuse (18981979)

—Jane Mayer, U.S. journalist, and Jill Abramson b. 1954, U.S. journalist. Strange Justice, p. 8, Houghton Mifflin (1994)
“The trouble with Nixon is that hes a serious politics junkie. Hes totally hooked ... and like any other junkie, hes a bummer to have around: especially as President.”
