I was in civil society long before I was ever in politics or my husband was ever even elected president.

There is no act of treachery or meanness of which a political party is not capable for in politics there is no honour.

If you have embraced a creed which appears to be free from the ordinary dirtiness of politics - a creed from which you yourself cannot expect to draw any material advantage - surely that proves that you are in the right?

I am an Anglo-Catholic in religion, a classicist in literature and a royalist in politics.

What is a wife and what is a harlot? What is a church and what is a theatre? are they two and not one? Can they exist separate? Are not religion and politics the same thing? Brotherhood is religion. O demonstrations of reason dividing families in cruelty and pride!
