Ma la causa vera di tutti i nostri mali, di questa tristezza nostra, sai qual è? La democrazia, mio caro, la democrazia, cioè il governo della maggioranza. Perché, quando il potere è in mano d'uno solo, quest'uno sa d'esser uno e di dover contentare molti; ma quando i molti governano, pensano soltanto a contentar se stessi, e si ha allora la tirannia più balorda e più odiosa: la tirannia mascherata da libertà.
~ Luigi Pirandello

The selective withholding of one's opinions must also be practiced from time to time in the world of business or politics if one is to be welcomed into the councils of power.

that's the only place you find fairy tales, Hirianthial. In books. In the real world, there's always someone who has to clean the kitchen and take out the trash. There's always politics. There's always someone who wants to get ahead and doesn't care who they squash on their way up.
~ M.C.A. Hogarth

I will not let a political party tell me how to live, when to die or what to believe in.

But when the people around you have lost their will to be free, then earth becomes a hell.

Ah! meu caro Rubião, isto de política pode ser comparado à paixão de Nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo; não falta nada, nem o discípulo que nega, nem o discípulo que vende. Coroa de espinhos, bofetadas, madeiros, e afinal morre-se na cruz das ideias, pregado pelos cravos da inveja, da calúnia e da ingratidão.
~ Machado de Assis

70% dos cidadãos votam do mesmo modo que respiram: sem saber porque nem o quê. Votam como vão à festa da Penha, — por divertimento. A Constituição é para eles uma coisa inteiramente desconhecida. Estão prontos para tudo: uma revolução ou um golpe de Estado.
~ Machado de Assis

Não lia jornais. Achava que um jornal era a coisa mais inútil do mundo, depois da Câmara dos Deputados, das obras dos poetas e das missas. Não quer isto dizer que Soares fosse ateu em religião, política e poesia. Não. Soares era apenas indiferente. Olhava para todas as grandes coisas com a mesma cara com que via uma mulher feia. Podia vir a ser um grande perverso; até então era apenas uma grande inutilidade. (Luís Soares)
~ Machado de Assis

Mais comment un prince pourra connaître son ministre, voici un moyen qui ne trompe jamais: quand tu vois le ministre penser plus à soi qu'à toi et que dans toutes les affaires il recherche là-dedans son profit, un tel homme ainsi fait jamais ne sera bon ministre, jamais tu ne te pourras fier à lui.
~ Machiavel
