Politics

Architecture is politics.
One of the key problems today is that politics is such a disgrace, good people don't go into government.
Politics are very much like war. We may even have to use poison gas at times.
I am not joining politics. I don't intend to contest election. I am happy to be back to doing normal things, be it films or other work.
To err is human. To blame someone else is politics.
We are losing sight of civility in government and politics. Debate and dialogue is taking a back seat to the politics of destruction and anger and control. Dogma has replaced thoughtful discussion between people of differing views.
What is politics but persuading the public to vote for this and support that and endure these for the promise of those?
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.
I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend.

In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.
Animals have come to mean so much in our lives. We live in a fragmented and disconnected culture. Politics are ugly, religion is struggling, technology is stressful, and the economy is unfortunate. What's one thing that we have in our lives that we can depend on? A dog or a cat loving us unconditionally, every day, very faithfully.
We have been educated into believing someone else's concept of the deity, and someone else's standard of beauty. You have the right to practice any religion and politics in a way that best suits your freedom, your dignity, and your understanding. And once you do that, you don't apologize.
In our age there is no such thing as 'keeping out of politics.' All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia.
We need to reject any politics that targets people because of race or religion. This isn't a matter of political correctness. It's a matter of understanding what makes us strong. The world respects us not just for our arsenal; it respects us for our diversity and our openness and the way we respect every faith.
