George Jean Nathan. George Orwell. Shirley Chisholm.

Politics. Pure Wind. Trivial Men.

Politics is the diversion of trivial men who, when they succeed at it, become important in the eyes of more trivial men. George Jean Nathan.

Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind. George Orwell.

At present, our country needs women’s idealism and determination, perhaps more in politics than anywhere else. Shirley Chisholm.
