Otto von Bismarck Quote: “Politics is the art of the…”

Politics is the art of the possible.

October 29, 2021 1815, April 1, German, Otto von Bismarck, Quotes by Leaders

Ian Lustick Quote: “Just as a balloon filled gradually…”

Just as a balloon filled gradually with air bursts when the limit of its tensile strength is passed, there are thresholds of radical, disruptive change in politics.

October 28, 2021 1949, American, Ian Lustick, Quotes by Historians

Emmeline Pankhurst Quote: “One baby is a patient baby…”

One baby is a patient baby, and waits indefinitely until its mother is ready to feed it. The other baby is an impatient baby and cries lustily, screams and kicks and makes everybody unpleasant until it is fed. Well, we know perfectly well which baby is attended to first. That is the whole history of politics.

Louis MacNeice Quote: “I would have a poet able…”

October 6, 2021 1944, German, May 15, Quotes by Sociologists, Ulrich Beck

Robin Morgan Quote: “Should we tolerate debate within feminism’s…”

Should we tolerate debate within feminism’s ranks? Undebatable! But it’s not so simple: women are socialised to avoid conflict; when we do differ, especially on politics and in public, it’s still tediously labelled a ‘catfight.’

October 3, 2021 1941, American, January 3, Quotes by Activists, Robin Morgan

Henry Adams Quote: “Politics are a very unsatisfactory game….”

Politics are a very unsatisfactory game.

September 6, 2021 1838, American, February 16, Henry Adams, Quotes by Historians

The real goal of politics has to be getting people to act on what they already know was wrong.

T. S. Eliot Quote: “I am an Anglo-Catholic in religion…”

I am an Anglo-Catholic in religion, a classicist in literature and a royalist in politics.
