The Cloth
This is a great quote about politics from William S. Burroughs:
“To concern yourself with surface political conflicts is to make the mistake of the bull in the ring, you are charging the cloth. That is what politics is for, to teach you the cloth. Just as the bullfighter teaches the bull, teaches him to follow, obey the cloth.”
Found that in an interview with Richard Metzger, founder of Disinfo.
