Politics is, by its nature, not my favorite thing because it's more about dividing people, not bringing them together.

Daniel Lubetzky

I was always intrigued by the idea of bringing things together that are considered taboo or risque and bringing them together with something of high elegance and sophistication.

Dita Von Teese

People get anxious about dividing sorts of poetry, say Confessionalism from political poetry. But Confessionalism is very much an expression of racial privilege and of class privilege. I don't think it's always a blind expression of these privileges but it does have its genesis in them, in the politics of them.

Jawaharlal Nehru

Richard Dawkins

Instead of attacking and dividing our people, I'll focus on better paying jobs, career and skills training, and apprenticeships. And I'll always protect our miners and your health care.

Andy Beshear

Leadership isn't just legislation, that it's a matter of persuading people and giving them confidence, and bringing them together and setting a tone.

Barack Obama

But bringing people together is what music has always done best.

Rob Sheffield

I think football in general globally has a unique way of uniting people instead of dividing people.

Tobin Heath

Politics separate men by bringing them together only superficially. Art and culture unite us in a common anguish that is our only possible fraternity, that of our existential and metaphysical community.
