Politics And Culture Quotes

“Politics is The New Opium (The Sonnet) I started writing on politics to impress a girl, Then she left for a native white, balkan alternative. But I was too deep in the pickle to leave politics, Eventually the struggling nobody arose a global native. Originally I was inclined towards writing on religion, But soon I realized justice is the religion of tomorrow. And the world's notion of religion is beyond repair, Terms of religion lost their charm to me more and more. Religion was the opium for the masses of yesterday, Politics is opium for the masses of today. But politics of pop culture is not what I work on, My politics is not left or right, but mostly grey. As a brain scientist, my work is to dissect human nature. If it makes way for a better society, that's a great honor.”

“The purpose in life is not just to work a good-paying job but actually have meaning and purpose to what you're doing with your life and deep inside the heart of every American is the love honor courage and ideals that form the foundation of this country. Love is not just a feeling its a powerful force that drives us to act there is no force more powerful than love we must stand up and we must fight for the soul of our culture We Have No Time to Waste.”

“For him (JFK) as he imagined of the British aristocracy, policies were less important than character traits such as dignity, courage, and honor. They did not pose as angry young men, but brought an almost lighthearted approach to politics. The very idea of politics invigorating society rather than dominating society very much appealed to Kennedy.”

“The fools of today's politics keep dividing the lands into more and more pieces, thinking that it would bring their people security, whereas the reality is, such an act only brings insecurity, as it leads to nothing but an increasing amount of conflicts. Division can’t bring peace and security, only assimilation can.”

“Beyond Politics (The Sonnet) Changing leadership, changing party, These ain’t change, but same old tribalism. Changing the shape and name of tribalism, Is not end of tribalism, but recurring tribalism. If you really want to bring actual change, Aim for a non-tribal society, one of nonsectarianism. Replacing one sect with another may feel like change, But it's just another form of unchanging divisionism. Real change is when civic duty turns common sanity, When there's no community service, only life and living. The supreme policy is that of individual accountability, True order comes through collectivity, not policing. Stop relying on politicians for every little trouble. And the world will be a place without political turmoil.”

“The other thing I think we learned on Tuesday (election day) is that this is an electorate that is not particularly generous in doling out the credit for things. I think this goes beyond politics, bur clearly in the case of politics where the voters are now conditioned to look for the worst in everyone and really to disbelieve that there's very much good in anyone. It's hard to be a politician under those circumstances, but, again, I think this mood of looking for the worst in everyone extends beyond the political world. (from the book The NPR Interviews 1995, edited by Robert Siegel)”
