Here are some of my favoirte quotes from some of the most brilliant men on politics:
Albert Camus:
- "Every revolutionary ends up by becoming either an oppressor or a heretic."
- "Politics and the shape of mankind are shaped by men without ideals and without greatness. Men who have greatness within them don't concern themselves with politics."
- "What is a rebel? A man who says no."
- "Children will still die unjustly even in a perfect society. Even by his greatest effort, man can only propose to diminish, arithmetically, the sufferings of the world."
- "Absolute freedom mocks at justice. Absolute justice denies freedom."
Oscar Wilde:
- "Democracy is oppression of the people, for the people, and by the people."
