“Politics isn't about big money or power games, it's about the improvement of people's lives. Paul Wellstone”

“Politics is not about big money or power games; it's about the improvement of people's lives”

“Organization isn't about perfection; it's about efficiency, reducing stress and clutter, saving time and money and improving your overall quality of life.”

“The people of this country, not special interest big money, should be the source of all political power.”

“Politics is about the improvement of people's lives, lessening human suffering, advancing the cause of peace and justice in our country and in the world.”

“Washington's all abstraction. It's about access to power and nothing else. I mean, I'm sure it's fun if you're living next door to Seinfeld, or To Wolfe, or Mike Bloomberg, but living next door to them isn't what New York is about, In Washington people literally talk about how many feet away from John Kerry's house their own house is. The neighborhoods are all so blah, the only thing that turns people on is proximity to power. It's a total fetish culture. People get this kind of orgasmic shiver when they tell you they sat next to Paul Wolfowitz at a conference or got invited to Grover Norquist's breakfast.”
