Political Fairy

Famous quotes containing the words political and/or fairy:

“I have no purpose to introduce political and social equality between the white and black races. There is a physical difference between the two, which, in my judgement, will probably for ever forbid their living together upon the footing of perfect equality; and inasmuch as it becomes a necessity that there must be a difference, I ... am in favour of the race to which I belong having the superior position.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

“Every time a child says “I don’t believe in fairies” there is a fairy somewhere that falls down dead.”
—J.M. (James Matthew)
