Political Unconscious

Famous quotes containing the words political and/or unconscious:

    We assume that politicians are without honor. We read their statements trying to crack the code. The scandals of their politics: not so much that men in high places lie, only that they do so with such indifference, so endlessly, still expecting to be believed. We are accustomed to the contempt inherent in the political lie.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    Men are freest when they are most unconscious of freedom. The shout is a rattling of chains, always was.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
