T.S. Eliot
“O dark dark dark. They all go into the dark,
The vacant interstellar spaces, the vacant into the vacant”
T. S. Eliot

Kenneth Minogue
“It is said that the price of freedom is vigilance, and an important form of vigilance is attention to political rhetoric, which often reveals how things are going.”
Kenneth Minogue, Politics: A Very Short Introduction

Kenneth Minogue
“Politics is the activity by which the framework of human life is sustained; it is not life itself.”
Kenneth Minogue, Politics: A Very Short Introduction

James Branch Cabell
“I quite fixedly believe the Wardens of Earth sometimes unbar strange windows, that face on other worlds than ours. And some of us, I think, once in a while get a peep through these windows. But we are not permitted to get a long peep, or an unobstructed peep, nor very certainly, are we permitted to see all there is — out yonder. The fatal fault, sir, of your theorizing is that it is too complete. It aims to throw light upon the universe, and therefore is self-evidently moonshine. The Wardens of Earth do not desire that we should understand the universe, Mr. Kennaston; it is part of Their appointed task to insure that we never do; and because of Their efficiency every notion that any man, dead, living, or unborn, might form as to the universe will necessarily prove wrong.”
James Branch Cabell, The Cream of the Jest

Kenneth Minogue
“At the turn of the twentieth century, the first wave of academic political scientists attacked some of their theoretical predecessors for the supposed mistake of assuming that human beings were entirely rational. This mistake had allegedly been made by politicians and theorists who had tried to appeal to voters in terms of purely rational argument. The new political scientists triumphantly pointed out that image, stereotype, the emotions arising in crowds, family background, and many other irrational factors were actually the main determinants of political behaviour.”
Kenneth Minogue, Politics: A Very Short Introduction
