Allen Ginsberg was a world authority on the writing of William Blake and had an incredible knowledge of classic literature and world politics.

Politics is the enemy of the imagination.

Political correctness? In my humor I never talk about politics. I was never much into all that.

Mixing humor and politics is something that works.

President Obama chose politics over leadership. 'Hope' and 'Change' have become bait-and-switch.

Hope springs eternal even in politics.

Politics is not predictions and politics is not observations. Politics is what we do. Politics is what we do politics is what we create by what we work for by what we hope for and what we dare to imagine.

There is no hope even that woman with her right to vote will ever purify politics.

For a person who promised hope and civility in politics Mr. Obama has shown a borderline obsessiveness in blaming Mr. Bush.
