Politics

Part of the core information that I've been purveying is that identity politics is a sick game. You don't play racial, ethnic, and gender identity games. The Left plays them on behalf of the oppressed, let's say, and the Right tends to play them on behalf of nationalism and ethnic pride. I think they're equally dangerous.

When I was 15 years old and in the tenth grade, I heard of Martin Luther King, Jr. Three years later, when I was 18, I met Dr. King and we became friends. Two years after that I became very involved in the civil rights movement. I was in college at that time. As I got more and more involved, I saw politics as a means of bringing about change.

I tell people all the time, you may not do politics, but politics will do you.

Social justice, protecting the right to vote and being engaged in politics has been a hallmark of my sorority since its founding in 1913; its first official act of public service was the Women's Suffrage March that same year.

I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.

Those who stand for nothing fall for anything.

I have been thinking that I would make a proposition to my Republican friends... that if they will stop telling lies about the Democrats, we will stop telling the truth about them.

It is not in the nature of politics that the best men should be elected. The best men do not want to govern their fellowmen.

America's present need is not heroics but healing; not nostrums but normalcy; not revolution but restoration.
