Text Quotes
As a reader, I notice political views regardless of whether or not the book is fiction. What annoys me is when said views do nothing to advance the narrative  (Political Quotes) If you’re watching a comedian on television and he’s making a political point, I would say he’s gotten too serious  (Political Quotes) Red lines are kind of political arguments that are used to try to put people in a corner  (Political Quotes) Greece has great strengths, but much of this potential has been wasted. That’s because of a wider political system, but also because of a lack of an institutional framework  (Political Quotes) Read the editorial page of your local paper. It introduces you to opinion and can be terrifically provocative and perhaps a great motivating force for you to get involved in your community, regardless of your political ideology  (Political Quotes) Putting something in a movie because it’s in the news doesn’t make it political to me. If you’re not going outside the same old, same old, if you’re not pushing the envelope, then you’re not doing anything. A good movie is a political thing  (Political Quotes) Every great political campaign rewrites the rules; devising a new way to win is what gives campaigns a comparative advantage against their foes  (Political Quotes) Holy scripture does not hold women back. It’s the people that decide to interpret it in such a way for their own, sometimes political, agendas  (Political Quotes) I’m a very individualistic person. That is why I don’t belong to any political party or anything. I really believe in justice and freedom  (Political Quotes) I think almost every political leader is always told that the next speech they make is the most crucial one  (Political Quotes) Obama’s view of the tax code is inherently political: Whom can we hit next? Energy companies, jet owners, bankers? Instead, the question should be how to promote economic efficiency by raising revenue without trying to manipulate corporate or personal behavior  (Political Quotes) Political differences will always generate a healthy debate, but over time the dialogue has become more hateful and at times violent  (Political Quotes) No matter what your political persuasion, you can find a guide that makes it quick, easy and painless to exercise your right to vote. Wanna know what a certain proposition put forth by a cadre of undisclosed billionaires which cuts funding for public education, arts and infrastructure means? Use the voting guide!  (Political Quotes) For most of the world, civil and political rights... come as luxuries that are far away in the future  (Political Quotes) It’s an intolerable abuse of power to have employees who are supposed to be advancing the public interest actually working on political campaigns  (Political Quotes) A phone tree isn’t an ancient form of political organizing, but you have to call every person  (Political Quotes) The failure of political leaders to help uplift the poor will be judged a moral failure  (Political Quotes) What is the purpose of writing? For me personally, it is really to explain the mystery of life, and the mystery of life includes, of course, the personal, the political, the forces that make us what we are while there’s another force from inside battling to make us something else  (Political Quotes) We must try again to be alive to what the people of our country really long for in our national life: forgiveness and grace, maturity and wisdom... Our political leaders will know our priorities only if we tell them, again and again, and if those priorities begin to show up in the polls  (Political Quotes) Not that she’s a political animal, she’s just an ordinary woman, but as a woman she’s of the view that you don’t bring children into the world to have them shot  (Political Quotes) Politics is something similar to the lower physiological functions, with the unpleasant difference that political functions are unavoidably carried out in public  (Political Quotes) The internet was supposed to liberate knowledge, but in fact it buried it, first under a vast sewer of ignorance, laziness, bigotry, superstition and filth and then beneath the cloak of political surveillance. Now... cyberspace exists exclusively to promote commerce, gossip and pornography. And of course to hunt down sedition. Only paper is safe. Books are the key. A book cannot be accessed from afar, you have to hold it, you have to read it  (Political Quotes) Political freedom cannot exist in any land where religion controls the state, and religious freedom cannot exist in any land where the state controls religion  (Political Quotes) To be a person who sees a political ad on television and takes the statements in it as fact, how can you exist in this world? How is it you’re not robbed daily by charlatans who knock at your door?  (Political Quotes) That is one thing I am sure of amid my many uncertainties regarding the literary vocation: deep inside, a writer feels that writing is the best thing that ever happened to him, or could ever happen to him, because as far as he is concerned, writing is the best possible way of life, never mind the social, political, or financial rewards of what he might achieve through it  (Political Quotes) The problem is that it has become politically awkward to draw attention to absolutes of bad and good. In place of manners, we now have doctrines of political correctness, against which one offends at one’s peril: by means of a considerable circular logic, such offences mark you as reactionary and therefore a bad person. Therefore if you say people are bad, you are bad  (Political Quotes) …the samurai ethic is a political science of the heart, designed to control such discouragement and fatigue in order to avoid showing them to others. It was thought more important to look healthy than to be healthy, and more important to seem bold and daring than to be so. This view of morality, since it is physiologically based on the special vanity peculiar to men, is perhaps the supreme male view of morality  (Political Quotes) It seems to me there’s this tyranny that’s not accidental or incidental, to make women feel compelled to look like somebody they’re not. I think the effort is being made to get us to turn our time and attention to this instead of important political issues  (Political Quotes) We no longer ask of a judicial ruling or a legislative act: is it good? Is it fair? Is it just? Is it right? Will it help bring about a better society or a better world? Those used to be the political questions, even if they invited no easy answers. We must learn once again to pose them  (Political Quotes) My political position springs from my being a novelist. In so far as I am concerned, politics and the novel are an indivisible case and I can categorically state that I became politically committed because I am a novelist, not the opposite  (Political Quotes)
