My favorite quotes on politics:

Favorites on life

"A good way to threaten somebody is to light a stick of dynamite. Then you call the guy and hold the burning fuse up to the phone. "Hear that?" you say. "That's dynamite, baby." "

"I've always been considered an ******* for about as long as I can remember. That's just my style. But I'd really feel blue if I didn't think you were going to forgive me."

"Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."

-Frank Herbert (Dune)
