Comic
I'm not a political comic.
- Abbi Jacobson
Capable
Years
Ten years ago I said, you know, my goal is to be able to get food on the table. What I'm trying to say by that is trying to create a vibrant, capable and effective middle class. The quicker and stronger that we can be able to do this, the easier it is for political reform to move forward.

Than

- Adam Mansbach
Dollars
Instance
I have no political ax to grind; I just find it absurd that huge billion-dollar corporations can take over elections. I just find it insane that, for instance, we give tax breaks to people like myself making millions of dollars, while there're no tax breaks for working people. That, to me, is not a political issue, that's a life issue.
- Adam McKay

- Adlai E. Stevenson
Hop
Part
I'd like to see people pay attention to the science of hip hop. The knowledge part, the political side of what hip hop could do, or where hip hop is gonna go. I always say it's gonna become universal as we become a galactic union.

Absolutely
I have absolutely no political ambitions.
- Ajith Kumar
Small
Reach
As a source of innovation, an engine of our economy, and a forum for our political discourse, the Internet can only work if it's a truly level playing field. Small businesses should have the same ability to reach customers as powerful corporations. A blogger should have the same ability to find an audience as a media conglomerate.
- Al Franken
Establishing
You might not like that Facebook shares your political opinions with Politico, but are you really going to delete all the photos, all the posts, all the connections - the presence you've spent years establishing on the world's dominant social network?
- Al Franken
Cause
Very
The civil rights movement was very important in my house, and then Vietnam was very important 'cause there were two boys, so I came of age during a very heated political climate.
- Al Franken
Point
Helping
Population growth is straining the Earth's resources to the breaking point, and educating girls is the single most important factor in stabilizing that. That, plus helping women gain political and economic power and safeguarding their reproductive rights.
- Al Gore
Own
About
Let's get with it, guys: You don't need to hear a Ministry song to get political. You should be political on your own. We're just a side project to society. So do I care what people think about me personally? No. I just do what I do.
- Al Jourgensen
Which
Private
Crony capitalism is essentially a condition in which... public officials are giving favours to people in the private sector in payment of political favours.

Spent

- Alan Greenspan
Religious
Before
No matter how powerful our political and religious leaders think they are, they are as dust before the immense and implacable forces of history and progress. I just hope that they don't make too much of a mess or take too many more people down with them.
- Alan Moore
Spiritual
Your
Your political views really denote your spiritual views.
- Alanis Morissette
Will
Kid
Down the road, I'll probably have a kid or two or three. And there will probably be political events or spiritual things to comment on, and humor.
- Alanis Morissette
Politics
About
There are people with an explicit political bent complaining about people having political agendas while nominating stories with political agendas. Is it political to try to be diverse? Is it political to try to imagine a non-heteronormative society? Yes, because it involves politics. But how do they expect us to not write about our lives?
- Alaya Dawn Johnson
Empty Stomach
An empty stomach is not a good political adviser.
- Albert Einstein
Deal

- Alcee Hastings

Favor
Won

Fact
Socially
Political journalists, socially inept or no, are not nerds. Most of them can't do math, a fact that campaigns and politicians regularly exploit.

Sometimes
Very
Logic, sometimes has very little to do with political action.
- Alexander Mackenzie
Reasons
Arrested
When men are arrested without any legal basis and for political reasons, it's merely a routine, everyday occurrence in Russia, and hardly anyone has any sympathy.

- Ali Khamenei
Die
Anymore
All in all this is a difficult political struggle which will go on for years, in which our people won't die anymore; I'm not sure how much we will be able to win, but I'm certain that we won't loose anything that we have now.
- Alija Izetbegovic
Issues
Our
I continue to write songs that are topically related to social, political and economic issues of our time, but I also recognize that onstage, I have a lot of fun and audiences have a lot of fun, so I'm trying to package the messages in music and sounds that are fun to perform and fun to listen to.
- Aloe Blacc
Forced
Some
I personally believe that those who are leaders with political power over the world will be forced some day, sooner or later, to give way to common sense and the will of the people.
- Alva Myrdal
Strong
Roots
The economic and political roots of the conflicts are too strong for us to pretend to create a lasting state of harmonious understanding between men.
- Alva Myrdal

Women are focused on getting things done and bring fresh perspectives and innovative approaches to a political system that's crying out for change.
- Amy Klobuchar

Sense
To me, a public servant should have both the grounding and the compassion to carry the common sense and good will of his or her neighbors into the political arena.
- Amy Klobuchar
Blacks
Had
When it came to political power, blacks need not apply. Add to this steaming stew the growing tensions over the Vietnam War and the movement for civil rights, and you had plenty of elements to fire the imagination of a novice journalist.
- Andrea Mitchell
Favourite
Author
My favourite author is Leon Trotsky - the political philosophy and the way he writes is beautiful, and really relevant, too.
- Andrej Pejic
Celebrity
Own
If there is a person behaving more destructively in popular culture than Mario Lavandeira, I cannot think of one. He has used cruelty as a crass mechanism to build up his own celebrity and has utilized political correctness to protect himself while using it as a weapon to dehumanize those he doesn't agree with.
- Andrew Breitbart
Historical
I probably owe my political dismay to New Labour, but also my growing sense that the satirical shape of human affairs is international and historical, not glued to the tawdry ambitions of a team of politicians who represent nothing but themselves.
- Andrew O'Hagan
Faith
Brought
Today, corruption has won and justice has lost. I brought corruption cases in good faith involving powerful people, and the political and legal establishment blatantly covered up and retaliated by targeting my law license.

Away
Luxuries

- Andrew Young
Lunch
I Think
I think the political class in Berlin doesn't need to be supervised and monitored by intelligence services in order to find out what they're thinking. Just go to lunch with them, go to dinner with them, or read the papers.
- Angela Merkel
Believe
Puerto
I believe - and so do most Puerto Ricans - that the ideas that will prevail in the new century will be those similar to the basic principles of commonwealth, of national reaffirmation, and political and economic integration among the peoples of the world.
- Anibal Acevedo Vila
Need
Main
We need a reform of the Security Council. It must be perceived as truly representative by all the 191 member states, to uphold the credibility and legitimacy of the UN as the main political arena.
- Anna Lindh
Political Life
If I do something that depresses, it's not because I'm depressed, but because political life and history is depressing.
- Anselm Kiefer
Steel
Attract
High-profile industry disruptions such as steel or car plant closures attract much media and political attention.
- Anthony Pratt
Movie
When I do a political movie, I do a political movie.
- Antonio Banderas
Strength
Flowers
My strength never came from political echelons, it came from the family. And from the fields and the lands and the flowers and everything I see there. My strength came from there.
- Ariel Sharon
Nature
Politics
Man is by nature a political animal.
- Aristotle
Politics
Always
Politicians also have no leisure, because they are always aiming at something beyond political life itself, power and glory, or happiness.
- Aristotle
Courage
Suicide
Political courage is not political suicide.
- Arnold Schwarzenegger
About
Obama
FDR created today's 30 percent coalition. Obama wants to finish the job by turning it into a permanent ruling majority. There's nothing new about the Obama Narrative. It is the FDR Narrative on steroids. It is intended to lead to greater statism and political gain.
- Arthur C. Brooks
World
Essentials
One of the first essentials is a policy of unreserved political cooperation with all the nations of the world.
- Arthur Henderson
Body
Very
You may see the emergence of a new political party from the body of the trade union movement which represents a very clear-cut socialist alternative policy and which gives expression to the views of the trade union movement in parliament.
- Arthur Scargill
Career
Dice
When political correctness first started coming around, it ruined Andrew Dice Clay and Eddie Murphy's stand-up career. Sam Kinison died at just the right time, 'cause no one was going to tolerate what he was saying anymore either.
- Artie Lange
Think
I Think
I think one of the saddest things that's happening to literature is that it's getting over-simplified by this diet of simple political ideas.
- Arundhati Roy
Occupy
Became
The Occupy movement found places where people who were feeling that anger could come and share it - and that is, as we all know, extremely important in any political movement. The Occupy sites became a way you could gauge the levels of anger and discontent.
- Arundhati Roy
Use
About
I would never, ever use a novel to do thinly disguised political information dissemination. For me, all these experiences, they sat in me, and they got broken down into my body, and I sweated it out. It's not because I want to talk about 'issues.' For me, a novel is a way of seeing the world.
- Arundhati Roy
Other
Out
I'm a mammal at the end. I breathe out and breathe in and eat. At the end, when we go to sleep, nobody lives this political definition. It's something we connect by and we try to understand each other by, but at the end, we know that this is not who we are.
- Ashraf Barhom
Fighting
Fought
Not all political actors share our vision of fighting terrorism, lessening tensions in the region and focusing on building the economy. It is natural that they would challenge the government, but we have fought every challenge effectively. The daily ups and down of democracy should not be interpreted as lack of stability.
- Asif Ali Zardari
Against
Chechnya
It is not advantageous for Russia in its present state to fight against Chechnya. The army is a mess. It must be made combat ready. That will take time. Russia has a lot of economic, social and political problems much more important than Chechnya.
- Aslan Maskhadov
Other
Lives
It not infrequently happens that persons without any other special qualification than the drama of their lives are precipitated into important political positions.
- Charles Edward Merriam
Country
Back
I don't actually subscribe to the view that all power corrupts. But absolute power - when secured on the back of massive parliamentary majorities, which don't reflect the balance of political opinion in the country - can corrupt absolutely.
- Charles Kennedy
Start
Interests
When you start attacking cronyism and people's political interests, it gets nasty.
- Charles Koch
Approval
Ritual
Scaremongering is an age-old political ritual. There are public officials who have benefited by playing up the 'hacker threat' so that they can win approval by cracking down on it.
- Charles Platt
Financial
There are few colonial nations anymore. Instead, we are colonized by financial institutions beyond our political control. We are colonized with pens and papers and millions of little digital bursts transferring billions of dollars all over the globe in the blink of an eye.
- Charlie Pierce
Declare
Makes
To me, you have to declare yourself a Chicano in order to be a Chicano. That makes a Chicano a Mexican-American with a defiant political attitude that centers on his or her right to self-definition. I'm a Chicano because I say I am.
- Cheech Marin
Band
We're not a political band, we're a socially-minded band.
- Chester Bennington
Through
Very
I've become very interested in the spectrum of political discourse as seen on the cable news channels that are conveniently right in a row on my cable provider's dial. I can flip from Fox to CNN to HLN to MSNBC, and I find myself at night flipping it back and forth through them, and it's something of an addiction.
- Chris Carter
Art
Politics
There's an axiom I live by: 'There is no art without politics.' You either choose to engage it, or you choose political apathy. This ties in with ideas around real-time performance and feedback.
- Chris Jordan
Want
Virtual
You can hold your Bitcoin in Ripple. We want to be agnostic to any currency, whether that be a virtual currency, political currencies, or peer-to-peer currencies.
- Chris Larsen
Serve
West Bank
It doesn't serve an American interest. It really doesn't really serve Israeli interests - it serves the interests of the political party that's getting the votes of the settlers on the West Bank.
- Chris Matthews
Media
Other
The counterculture has nothing to do with Dolce & Gabbana having a 'Hippy Summer' or something. Street kids, and kids who want to live in any sort of counter-cultural experience other than what's being presented by the mainstream media or political climate, or 'normal' cultural climate, are never going to look like that.
- Chris Robinson
Technical
Plane
Every time economic and technical development takes a step forward, forces emerge which attempt to create political forms for what, on the economic-technical plane, has already more or less become reality.
- Christian Lous Lange
More
Very
I'm very much a believer that it's action that matters much more so than, you know, the flurry of political promises and statements and slogans that are used during political campaigns.
- Christine Lagarde
War
Germany
Germany is an economic giant but a political midget, and with the end of the Cold War she has started to muscle her presence throughout Europe and the world.
- Christo
Very
Surprising
There isn't much political coloration in my economic writing; it's not surprising that few people know my political views. They really aren't very important.
- Christopher A. Sims
Cool
Made
That was the political reality of 1987: Saxophones made you cool. That's real! That really happened in our society!
- Christopher Miller
Way
Will
Soft money will find its way and seep into the political system and corrode it, unless we plug every hole.
- Chuck Schumer
Blessings
Means
All women, whatever be their position, should demand political equality as a means of a freer life, and one calculated to yield rich blessings to society.
- Clara Zetkin
World
Discussion
The problem is going to be finding the right words and implementing it in a way that is really dealing with people that are inciting and not preventing honest discussion of the underlying causes of this horrendous political situation the world is in now.
- Clare Short
Lot
Correctness
A lot of people are bored of all the political correctness.
- Clint Eastwood
Dream
Being
I'm not a policy wonk, and I don't dream of being a political operative.
- Clint Howard
Then
Prisoners
It is true you cannot eat freedom and you cannot power machinery with democracy. But then neither can political prisoners turn on the light in the cells of a dictatorship.
- Corazon Aquino
Freedom
Deny
Freedom and justice cannot be parceled out in pieces to suit political convenience. I don't believe you can stand for freedom for one group of people and deny it to others.
- Coretta Scott King
Art
Form
Any form of art is political if you make it that way.
- D.R.A.M.
Crisis
Sense
The eyes of the world are fixed on the U.S. to see if we have the political courage and moral sense to solve our debt crisis.
- Dan Coats
Anything
Sundays
I don't do anything political on Sundays.
- Dan Webster
Next
Reporters
Political reporters no longer get to decide what's news. The days when a minister gave briefings to a dozen lobby correspondents, and thereby dictated the next day's headlines, are over. Now, a thousand bloggers decide for themselves what is interesting. If enough of them are tickled then, bingo, you're news.
- Daniel Hannan
Every Day
Read
I wouldn't say I'm a political junkie. I follow it. I read a few articles every day.
- Danny Strong
Judge
I'm not political and I don't judge.
- David Bailey
Book
About
When I begin a book, I inevitably discover many things along the way, about the characters, their past histories and the political intrigues that surround them. This discovery process is vital, and I would not prejudice it by deciding too much in advance.
- David Brin
People
Social
There was a time when people liked to take Shakespeare and twist him around to make whatever social or political statement they wanted to make.
- David Denman
Through
Had
I went downtown as a lawyer and then I worked in a liquor store at night, as I had done all through law school. And so when I got to the point where I could give up the night job, I joined the political club.
- David Dinkins
Other
Founders
Self-proclaimed saviors and other outliers come and go throughout our political history. Occasionally, they're successful; most times, they're not. But the system has rebalanced toward the basic principles of tolerance, freedom and democracy that were set forth by the Founders.
- David Ignatius
Relationships
My political giving has merely followed my relationships.
- David Jolly
Presidents
Affairs of state tend to drive most presidents toward the center on both foreign and domestic policy, no matter where on the political spectrum they begin, and especially so in the areas of intelligence and law enforcement.
- David K. Shipler
Deep
Thinker
I'm not a great deep political thinker.
- David Mitchell
Love
Wanting
I love books, I love art, I'm a fanatic nature and wildlife person. People assume I'm a political animal, power hungry, wanting to run for office. And anyone who knows me knows that none of that's true.
