Famous quotes containing the words political, parties and/or elections:

    “The State is the altar of political freedom and, like the religious altar, it is maintained for the purpose of human sacrifice.”
    —Emma Goldman (1869–1940)

    “We give lovely parties that last through the night,
    I dress as a woman and scream with delight,
    We wake up at lunch time and find we’re still tight.
    What could be duller than that?”
    —Noël Coward (1899–1973)

    “Apparently, a democracy is a place where numerous elections are held at great cost without issues and with interchangeable candidates.”
    —Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
