"The instinct to command others, in its primitive essence, is a carnivorous, altogether bestial and savage instinct. Under the influence of the mental development of man, it takes on a somewhat more ideal form and becomes somewhat ennobled, presenting itself as the instrument of reason and the devoted servant of that abstraction, or political fiction, which is called the public good. But in its essence it remains just as baneful, and it becomes even more so when, with the application of science, it extends its scope and intensifies the power of its action. If there is a devil in history, it is this power principle."	Mikhail Aleksandrovich Bakunin
"A politician is a person who can make waves and then make you think he's the only one who can save the ship."	Ivern Ball

"The politician is an acrobat; he keeps his balance by doing the opposite of what he says."	Maurice Barrès
"The saddest life is that of a political aspirant under democracy. His failure is ignominious and his success is disgraceful."	Mary Catherine Bateson
