The challenge in working in politics particularly if you're working for a political party is that everyone's a messenger.

The only reason to be in politics is public service. There's no other reason. Frankly if that's the best job you can get in terms of money that's too bad you know. Because frankly it's not well paid everyone knows that. So for most people it's a big sacrifice.

That is why everyone in politics and we do it must make sure that they do not depend on one single interest group. A good compromise is one where everybody makes a contribution.

Clinton and Obama practice this politics known quaintly as the Richard Speck strategy: if you cannot take on everyone in the room at once take them out of the room one at a time.

Everyone wants to demagogue everyone else. That may be good politics but it's awful policy.

Sometimes I wonder if we shall ever grow up in our politics and say definite things which mean something or whether we shall always go on using generalities to which everyone can subscribe and which mean very little.

If you have always believed that everyone should play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards that would have gotten you labeled a radical 60 years ago a liberal 30 years ago and a racist today.

The middle class is doing fine in fiction. But it's not what gets me going. I love the working class and everyone from it I've met and think they're incredibly witty inventive - there's a lot of poetry there.

Poetry is the art which is technically within the grasp of everyone: a piece of paper and a pencil and one is ready.

Everyone needs solitude especially a person who is used to thinking about what she experiences. Solitude is very important in my work as a mode of inspiration but isolation is not good in this respect. I am not writing poetry about isolation.

While also importantly not wanting to dumb it down or pretend the days of 'difficult' poetry are over because we live in a pluralist culture and there's room for 'difficult' poetry alongside rap and everything else. And poetry won't be for everyone but everyone should have the choice.

In science one tries to tell people in such a way as to be understood by everyone something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry it's the exact opposite.

Everyone thinks they're going to write one book of poems or one novel.

I will work to bring peace to everyone - whatever economic level - as long as you are Haitian.

Everyone is interested in war in that people don't want it to happen. I'm much more interested in peace than in war but it's important to understand why we fight.

We have a long way to go before we are able to hear the voices of everyone on earth but I believe that providing voices and building bridges is essential for the World Peace we all wish for.

Everyone has that friend who's every day like 'I hate my nose I hate my nose I hate my nose.' You either need to come to peace with it and be like alright I hate it but it's part of me - or change it. So I'm not against plastic surgery I'm against plastic surgery when it doesn't really need to be done.

Unfortunately the world is what it is now. People don't get along for whatever reason. As professional athletes in a way we're almost ambassadors for peace because sports brings everyone together.

If in our daily life we can smile if we can be peaceful and happy not only we but everyone will profit from it. This is the most basic kind of peace work.

If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set then there'd be peace.

Everyone is given one gift a reason for being and it's our obligation to do something with it. Obviously it's a challenge - but if you're not taking the bull by the horns I have no patience for you. You're just taking up space.

Everyone ought to bear patiently the results of his own conduct.

The interesting thing about being a mother is that everyone wants pets but no one but me cleans the kitty litter.

People often complain that music is too ambiguous that what they should think when they hear it is so unclear whereas everyone understands words. With me it is exactly the opposite and not only with regard to an entire speech but also with individual words.
