Famous quotes

  • « The novel is born of disillusionment the poem, of despair. »
    Jose Bergamin
  • « The sight of allegedly sophisticated politicians parroting complete tripe trivialises and demeans government and it has to be stopped. It's played a significant part in public disillusionment with politics and has led to the absurd situation where more people vote for 'Strictly Come Dancing' than voted in the general election. »
    John Major
  • « Wisdom comes by disillusionment. »
    George Santayana
  • « I can't really criticize the Tea Party people, because I came into the White House pretty much on the same basis that they have become popular. That is dissatisfaction with the way things are going in Washington and disillusionment and disencouragement about the government. »
    Jimmy Carter
