Famous quotes containing the words political, parties and/or elections:

    “Nationality is the miracle of political independence; race is the principle of physical analogy.”
    —Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)

    “We give lovely parties that last through the night,
    I dress as a woman and scream with delight,
    We wake up at lunch time and find we’re still tight.
    What could be duller than that?”
    —Noël Coward (1899–1973)

    “Apparently, a democracy is a place where numerous elections are held at great cost without issues and with interchangeable candidates.”
    —Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
