Politics is not predictions and politics is not observations. Politics is what we do. Politics is what we do, politics is what we create, by what we work for, by what we hope for and what we dare to imagine.
People always said you shouldn't get in politics and talk about politics. But I believe the politics are all around us.
The politics of personal destruction, the politics of division, the politics of fear, it's all there. It helps you to define the politics of moderation - the politics of democratic respect, the politics of hope - more clearly.

Or they'll talk about fear, which we used to call politics- job politics, social politics, government politics.

I believe people who go into politics want to do the right thing. And then they hit a big wall of re-election and the pettiness of politics. In the end, politics gets in the way of the business of people.
I've always looked upon politics as a very boring thing. Politics never interested me as much as the people involved in it.
Here we are the way politics ought to be in America; the politics of happiness, the politics of purpose and the politics of joy.
Social work and politics never go together although the intention behind politics is social work.
Let me just say that the politics that I have are never the politics of poetics. I am not interested in politics. Politically, I am only very conscious of how we live and what we do right and what we do so awfully wrong.

If I'm sure of a person and his potential in politics, and if I know he will live up to his promises, I wouldn't mind campaigning for him. I believe in the dictum, 'never say never.' You never know, I might end up joining politics.
