The average educated man gezegde

 The average educated man in America has about as much knowledge of what a political idea is as he has of the principles of counterpoint.

It must be corrupt or he will not recognize it. He has only seen dried figs. He has only thought dried thoughts. A live thought or a real idea is against the rules of his mind.
  John Jay Chapman

  W. H. Auden

 I often thought that if there had been a good rap group around in those days, I might have chosen a career in music instead of politics.
  Richard M. Nixon

 You know the cliche that politics is Hollywood for ugly people, ... Political conventions are sort of showmanship for people whose idea of great entertainment is the Gridiron.
