- Politics, as I never tire of saying, is for social and emotional misfits, handicapped folk, those with a grudge. The purpose of politics is to help them overcome these feelings of inferiority and compensate for their personal inadequacies in the pursuit of power.
- "The Power Urge", essay in The Spectator, 15 December, 1982 (reprinted in Another Voice (1986)).
