View quotes by Flann O'Brien

Politics: A strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles. The conduct of public affairs for private advantage.
View quotes by Ambrose Bierce

Communism teaches and seeks two objectives: unrelenting class warfare and the complete eradication of private ownership.
View quotes by Pope Pius XI

As soon as the land of any country has all become private property, the landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed, and demand a rent even for its natural produce.
View quotes by Adam Smith

Let the credulous and the vulgar continue to believe that all mental woes can be cured by a daily application of old Greek myths to their private parts.
View quotes by Vladimir Nabokov

Maybe you offer then a luxury cruise for two weeks with the wife, or a trip on a private jet [on BBC Panorama, a program about bung taking in football]
View quotes by Peter Harrison

It is probably not love that makes the world go around, but rather those mutually supportive alliances through which partners recognize their dependence on each other for the achievement of shared and private goals.
View quotes by Fred Allen

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.
View quotes by Allen Ginsberg

Art is a private thing, the artist makes it for himself; a comprehensible work is the product of a journalist. We need works that are strong, straight, precise, and forever beyond understanding.
View quotes by Kenneth Tynan

Don't you go believing in sayings, Picotee: they are all made by men, for their own advantages. Women who use public proverbs as a guide through events are those who have not ingenuity enough to make private ones as each event occurs.
View quotes by Thomas Hardy

And the sooner the tea's out of the way, the sooner we can get out the gin, eh? (Private Life of Hilda Tablet)
View quotes by Henry Reed

A time will come when a politician who has willfully made war and promoted international dissension will be as sure of the dock and much surer of the noose than a private homicide. It is not reasonable that those who gamble with men's lives should not stake their own.

View quotes by H G Wells
