George Eliot

There is no such thing as a good tax.

Winston Churchill

Jenson Button

The failures of the press have contributed immensely to the emergence of a talk-show nation, in which public discourse is reduced to ranting and raving and posturing.

Carl Bernstein

I was the only one there I never heard of.
