“The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists.”
Ernest Hemingway
“Men say I am a saint losing himself in politics. The fact is that I am a politician trying my hardest to become a saint.”
Mahatma Gandhi
“Like its politicians and its war, society has the teenagers it deserves”
Joseph Priestley
“I am never going to have anything more to do with politics or politicians. When this war is over I shall confine myself entirely to writing and painting.”
Winston Churchill
“We need to decide that we will not go to war, whatever reason is conjured up by the politicians or the media, because war in our time is always indiscriminate, a war against innocents, a war against children”
Howard Zinn
“I don't believe that the big men, the politicians and the capitalists alone are guilty of the war. Oh, no, the little man is just as keen, otherwise the people of the world would have risen in revolt long ago! There is an urge and rage in people to destroy, to kill, to murder, and until all mankind, without exception, undergoes a great change, wars will be waged, everything that has been built up, cultivated and grown, will be destroyed and disfigured, after which mankind will have to begin all over again.”
Anne Frank
“Why is everybody trying to stop the war? George Bush ain't beensaying, 'You all, make shitty records.' Politicians and music don't mix.It's like whisky and wine. Musicians ought to stay out of it.”
Kid Rock
