10 QUOTES WITH «DISILLUSIONMENT»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word disillusionment.
1
Graeme Base

2

5
Bill Kristol
The average GOP presidential vote in these last five elections was 44.5 percent. In the last three, it was 48.1 percent. Give Romney an extra point for voter disillusionment with Obama, and a half-point for being better financed than his predecessors. It still strikes me as a path to narrow defeat.
6
Ray Kurzweil

7
John Major
The sight of allegedly sophisticated politicians parroting complete tripe trivialises and demeans government and it has to be stopped. It's played a significant part in public disillusionment with politics and has led to the absurd situation where more people vote for 'Strictly Come Dancing' than voted in the general election.
8
Bryant H. McGill

9
Amity Shlaes
Disillusionment can come as fast as a gust, but building faith that the government won't inflate again is like building a new sailboat, a project of years.
10
Gertrude Stein
Disillusionment in living is finding that no one can really ever be agreeing with you completely in anything.
