– Alfred AlvarezRate it:

Polaire! The agitating and agitated Polaire! The tiny slip of a woman that you know, with the waist slender to the point of pain, of screaming out loud, of breaking in two, in a spasmically tight bodice, the prettiest slimness ...

– Jean LorrainRate it:

Policy is not that complicated! One only needs a clear conscience and therefore, a bad memory...

– FabriceRate it:

Politeness and consideration for others is like investing pennies and getting dollars back.

– Thomas SowellRate it:

Politeness costs nothing. Nothing, that is, to him that shows it but if often costs the world very dear.

– W. AllinghamRate it:

Politeness is half good manners and half good lying.

– Mary Wilson LittleRate it:

Politeness is one half good nature and the other half good lying.

– Mary Wilson LittleRate it:

– Joseph JoubertRate it:

Politeness, n. The most acceptable hypocrisy.

– Ambrose BierceRate it:

Political changes don’t just fall from heaven, it’s an interaction or relationship between people and people.

– Mwanandeke KindemboRate it:

Political correctness is a loaded gun that the individual holds to their own head. Where laws can’t stomp on freedom of speech, automatons rule other automatons via political correctness and social acceptance.

– James ScottRate it:

Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.

– Theodore DalrympleRate it:

Political correctness is the natural continuum from the party line. What we are seeing once again is a self-appointed group of vigilantes imposing their views on others. It is a heritage of communism, but they don't seem to see this.

– Doris LessingRate it:

Political correctness is tyranny with manners.

– Charlton HestonRate it:

Political democracy cannot last unless there is at the base of it, a social democracy.

– Dr. B. R. AmbedkarRate it:

Political history is largely an account of mass violence and of the expenditure of vast resources to cope with mythical fears and hopes.

– Murray Edelman, _Politics as Symbolic Action_, p. 1Rate it:

Political idiots and criminals cannot realize and accept their flaws and blunders; consequently, they prove their actions of self-victimization themselves.

– Ehsan SehgalRate it:

Political image is like mixing cement. When it's wet, you can move it around and shape it, but at some point it hardens and there's almost nothing you can do to reshape it.

– Walter Frederick MondaleRate it:

political inhumanity- this is the inhumanity shown by government against its own people or any people who runs to it for help and safety, yet is blatantly denied access to care. It should be classified as a crime- against humanity, and those responsible should face the prosecutorial justice of the world court.

– RAS CARDO REGGAERate it:

Political is personal; personal is political. I never was a political person until I realized I was a lesbian. I was this oblivious middle-class white kid who didn’t understand the powers of oppression or structure or anything. My very existence became politicized for me and that’s what enabled me to see all these things. It wasn’t just me, it was a whole cultural movement that was also doing those things that I was a part of.

– Alison BechdelRate it:

Political language - and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists - is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.

– George Orwell, 1946Rate it:

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

– George OrwellRate it:

Political marketing and PR could be described as elitist to some extent, although again, you have to express and verbalize your messages in the language of the people who are nor part of this elite.

– Maxim BeharRate it:

Political policy is like a wild animal; it cannot be perfectly perceived, only appropriately considered.

– Tyler DeVinaspreRate it:
