Politics Quotes
Voices on ideology, debate, and public life.
These politics quotes range from a personal statement linking radical belief to the character of one's work, to an observation that casual conversation about politics rarely gets taken too seriously. Together they capture politics as something people engage with unevenly, with real distance between everyday talk and lasting conviction.

My dad told me something long before I was in politics, and when your dad gives you advice every single day, eventually one or two of the things stick in your mind. And he said, don't believe what people say, believe what they do.

When you read about the real history of where feminism comes from, it came from a very political point of view. I don't believe in bringing any politics to an idea like feminism. I love the idea that women should be celebrated, but I also believe men should be, too. We need both - yin and yang.

In my view, the most important lesson we can learn from Dr. King is not what he said at the March on Washington but what he said and did after the march. In the years following the march, he did not play politics to see what crumbs a fundamentally corrupt system might toss to the beggars for justice.
