You can’t have meaningful political democracy without functioning economic democracy.

Noam Chomsky

I'm writing a political comedy that takes place in Canada in Quebec. It's funny. Saying political comedy is a little redundant but it's a first. I've never done any comedy per se.

Philippe Falardeau

From these activists we can learn a crucial lesson: without citizens creating the institutions necessary for facilitating the growth of public deliberation, democracy will be a meaningless term. Without political leaders articulating this idea and acting upon it, public life and citizenship will continue to stagnate.

Kevin Mattson

The Greek city-states politicised citizen and subject, creating institutions that were way ahead of anything in China or India. The politicians of antiquity exercised a political and military, if not economic, hegemony on the culture as a whole. The idea of democracy was first born and practised here.

Tariq Ali

Jill Stein

You continue to evolve with each album that goes by and, as an artist, you continue to expand with every recording project.

As for literature – to introduce children to literature is to install them in a very rich and glorious kingdom, to bring a continual holiday to their doors, to lay before them a feast exquisitely served.

In the exodus out of Iraq, we're seeing the effects of just leaving. We left before there was control of chemical weapons stockpiles, without a status-of-forces agreement. We left before the Sunni and Kurds we fought with and fought alongside with were stable, or without empowering them. We left on a political rhetoric.

Ryan Zinke

No one is born a good citizen; no nation is born a democracy. Rather, both are processes that continue to evolve over a lifetime. Young people must be included from birth. A society that cuts off from its youth severs its lifeline.

Kofi Annan

To have a healthy culture, you have to have stable health care financing and stable arts financing and stable sports financing, and if you don't have that, your culture becomes a parking lot.

Douglas Coupland

There are nutters across every political and religious spectrum; it goes without saying.

Douglas Murray

In a democracy, in a functioning democracy, what would be happening is that popular organizations, unions, political groupings, others would be developing their programs, putting them forth, insisting that their representatives implement those programs.

Noam Chomsky

In a well-functioning democracy, citizens have the option of voting their political masters out of office. Not so in most companies.

Gary Hamel

Scoring goals comes and goes with time, but the most important thing is that we continue creating chances. The entire team must work, and we then have to score goals.

Clarence Seedorf

Our present political world-view, current in Germany, is based in general on the idea that creative, culture-creating force must indeed be attributed to the state.

Adolf Hitler
