Rita Mae Brown:

Politics is war without killing.  You want your program to succeed.  It's a battle and often that battle is filled with bravery, cowardice, greed and heapings of dishonesty.  It's a bare-knuckle fight for power.  You want the power to enact your program.  If you're a lightweight, you want the power for self-aggrandizement or money.  The real warriors fight for their program just as military warriors fight for territory.

Rita Will, p. 272
