In politics,
it seems, retreat is honorable if dictated by military
considerations and shameful if even suggested for ethical
reasons.

Politics is
the enemy of the imagination.
-- Ian Mcewan

Politics will
eventually be replaced by imagery. The politician will be
only too happy to abdicate in favor of his image, because
the image will be much more powerful than he could ever be.
-- Marshall Mcluhan
1911-1980, Canadian
Communications Theorist
A good

Nothing is so
abject and pathetic as a politician who has lost his job,

The whole aim
of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed [and
Hence Clamorous To Be Led To Safety] by an endless series of
hobgoblins.

Author, Critic, Humorist
A party of
order or stability, and a party of progress or reform, are
both necessary elements of a healthy state of political
life.

One has to be
a lowbrow, a bit of a murderer, to be a politician, ready
and willing to see people sacrificed, slaughtered, for the
sake of an idea, whether a good one or a bad one.
-- Henry Miller
1891-1980, American Author
