154 / Art Of The Possible

I am always bemused by those who call politics the "art of the possible," as though that is a statement about its limitations.

In the world of politics, anything is "possible." The very best and the worst that we can dream, we can make "real" in the political world.

And as for "art," isn't that all about creation itself?

Politics: the art of the possible. It's a realm in which we can make any dream (and any nightmare) real.
