Famous quotes containing the words political, parties and/or elections:
“My dear young friend ... civilization has absolutely no need of nobility or heroism. These things are symptoms of political inefficiency. In a properly organized society like ours, nobody has any opportunities for being noble or heroic. Conditions have got to be thoroughly unstable before the occasion can arise.”
—Aldous Huxley (18941963)
“Remorseis Memoryawake
Her Parties all astir
A Presence of Departed Acts
At windowand at Door”
—Emily Dickinson (18301886)
“Apparently, a democracy is a place where numerous elections are held at great cost without issues and with interchangeable candidates.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
