"Anybody who doesn’t know that politics is crime has got a few screws loose." ― James Ellroy Topic(s): Politics More From James Ellroy "I am the most well-adjusted human being I know. I started out this investigation as a very happy man with a great career. I’ve got the life people dream about: I am rich, I am famous, I’ve got a fabulous marriage to an absolutely, spell-bindingly brilliant woman." "I have a very intense marriage." "As much as I transferred my mother to Elizabeth Shore of The Black Dahlia, as much as her dad mutated into an obsession with crime in general, well, I have thought about other things throughout the years." More In Politics "Politics: A strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles. The conduct of public affairs for private advantage."― Ambrose Bierce "Who could look on these monuments without reflecting on the vanity of mortals in thus offering up testimonials of their respect for persons of whose very names posterity is ignorant?"― Marguerite Gardiner "Politics is not about money."― Paul Wellstone
