I must not write a word to you about politics, because you are a woman.
- John Adams
Simon's dark eyes were serious. "I trust you," he said "I don't trust him." He cut his glance toward Jace, who was walking a few paces ahead of them, apparently conversing with the cat. Clary wondered what they were talking about. Politics? Opera? The high price of tuna?
- Cassandra Clare
And you don't want to always write about politics just for the sake of writing about politics.
- Billie Joe Armstrong
If they [Plato and Aristotle] wrote about politics it was as if to lay down rules for a madhouse.
And if they pretended to treat it as something really important it was because they knew that the madmen they were talking to believed themselves to be kings and emperors. They humored these beliefs in order to calm down their madness with as little harm as possible.
- Blaise Pascal
Heaven doesn't only teach humans about virtue and divinity.
It also shows us about politics and corruption; and that's a fact.
- Toba Beta
I'm not going to talk like I know about politics, because I'm a total amateur, but maybe I can be a spokesperson for people who aren't normally interested in politics.

- John Breaux
It's not about division. It's not about politics. My concern is how do we come together?
- Levar Burton
Broadway is such a diverse community. Everybody knows how I believe, and everyone believes, and it's not a big deal. But in Hollywood, if you talk about politics - especially if you're a Republican - or spirituality, it's just not something people want to hear about.
- Kristin Chenoweth
I know I'm not supposed to have any opinions about politics, because I'm famous.
- Cher
The British political system and the whole clapped out Westminster architecture, and the language that we use about politics, it's completely unsustainable. You either decide to be part of that transition to do something different. Or you cling to old certainties.
- Nick Clegg
I was raised to speak out about politics and the world around me. I would do it whether I was in the public or not. It is the way I was taught. The American way.
- Judy Collins
Well, you know what, I'm 60 years old, and I've been interested in politics since I was on my daddy's knee. During the 1948 election, we were praying for Truman. I know a lot about politics.
- Roger Ebert
I do not know much about politics, but I am trying to do the best I can with this administration until the time shall come for me to turn it over to somebody else.
- William Howard Taft
People who write about politics, whether on the left or the right, have a consistent bias: they take politics seriously.

When a Cabinet Minister who is sacked for telling lies is re-appointed, in the face of every constitutional convention, only for the same man to be sacked again from the same Cabinet for the same offence by the same Prime Minister no wonder the public are cynical about politics.
- William Hague
I have tried to write about politics in an allusive manner that draws upon other interests and to approach literature and criticism without ignoring the political dimension. Even if I have failed in this synthesis, I have found the attempt worth making.
- Christopher Hitchens
If we tried to write about politics, you'd realize that we're all a bunch of idiots.
- Mark Hoppus
I learnt more about politics during one South Dakota dust storm than in seven years at the university.
- Hubert H Humphrey
I care about politics just like any other citizen. I'm against the war in Iraq, or any type of war.
- Enrique Iglesias
Yeah, exactly, you can talk about politics in music, you can talk about something else, but that's always going to change, and love is never going to change.
- Enrique Iglesias
I watch my feet as I walk along. Left, right, left, right, why is everything about politics?
- Jarod Kintz
I feel like the boy who cried wolf, even though I know even less about politics.
- Jarod Kintz
I am genuinely not an over-the-top kind of person about politics or anything else.
- Charles Kennedy
Then maybe I'll hit on this sweaty, oversexed football player. Maybe we'll have meaningful discussions about politics and philosophy while we bump 'n grind. Ugh. Yeah, right.
- Kody Keplinger
Politics is there the way men and women are there, the way the Atlantic Ocean is there. Sometimes I've written about politics specifically, I mean about politics as it's understood on television and in newspapers.
- Kenneth Koch
So, ignorant we are. But we're not stupid. Indeed...remaining ignorant about politics and our government is a perfectly rational response to the government we have. The question isn't what we know. The question is what we're capable of knowing, and doing, if we have the right incentives, and the right opportunity.
- Lawrence Lessig
A sick society must think much about politics, as a sick man must think much about digestion: the subject may be fatal cowardice for the one as for the other. But if either comes t o regard it as the natural food of the mindif either forgets that we think of such things only in order to be able to think of something elsethen what was undertaken for the sake of health has become itself a new and deadly disease.
- C S Lewis
I have some very personal feelings about politics, but I don't get into it because I do comedy already.
- Jerry Lewis
There are so many people who are so much better qualified to write about politics than I am.
- Curtis Sittenfeld
What's gratifying about West Wing is that everybody told us that it couldn't be done - that the man or woman on the street didn't care about politics. But if you set things up correctly, people don't have a problem with it.
- Rob Lowe
First and foremost, The Quiet Invasion is a first contact story. What would we do if we actually found evidence of alien life out there? It's also about politics.
- Sarah Zettel
Most politicians - those people who live, eat and breathe politics - like to sit around and talk about politics and tell political war stories. Reagan didn't do that. His war stories were movie war stories and Hollywood war stories. He loved that.
- Lyn Nofziger
Commitment and family were important decisions, but so were matters of t
he heart. [Monique] might not know much about politics, but she knew she couldn't command her heart to love. And she'd never be pressured into giving herself to Eero, not to appease her family or to strengthen her brother's political position. She'd seen all she cared to of him and his power in the short week that he pursued her and that night he'd tried to bind their powers without her consent.
- Constance Phillips
I like to be able to open a can of stock and I like to talk about politics, or the movies, at the dinner table sometimes instead of food.
- Michael Pollan
This idea that a book can either be about character and feeling, or about politics and idea, is just a false binary. Ideas are an expression of the feelings and the intense emotions we hold about the world.
- Richard Powers
Most people don't want to talk about politics and religion. They say, 'Let's talk about something else.'
- Prince
I read all these stories that I don't know anything about politics. But I must know something. I've had some good victories in Congress, and I've survived this town for four years.
- Donald T Regan
Political correctness? In my humor, I never talk about politics. I was never much into all that.
- Don Rickles

You should never ask actors about politics.

- Kathryn Stockett
Religion and morality are critical to how students think about politics and form opinions on political issues.
- Jeanne Shaheen
Many people don't give a rip about politics and know as much about public affairs as they know about the topography of Pluto.
- Tony Snow
I never had a single conversation about politics with Ross Perot in my life; still haven't.
- James Stockdale
A 527 doesn't have a wife. It doesn't have a brother-in-law who knows a lot about politics, or a union president who calls and doesn't like the color of the suit, or bimbo eruptions. It's the perfect candidate, because it has no personal characteristics.
- Roger Stone
When I started 'CNN,' I made the decision to stay out of endorsing candidates, and let the doers make up their own minds about politics, that it wasn't going to come from me.
- Ted Turner
In fact, the likeliest reason why so many of us care so little about politics is that modern politicians makes us sad, hurt us deep down in ways that are hard even to name, much less talk about.

I could write songs about politics, but I'm conscious of not writing songs that sound the same as the ones I wrote 30 years ago.
- Paul Weller
I don't really wanna talk about politics, I'm not clever enough.
- Paul Weller
So you can say whatever you want and quote me however you want about politics and make the next payday, and that's fine because I'm making that deal with you, but just mention the movie along the way, OK?
- James Woods
