“I'm not involved in politics, and I've never had any political role. I...” — Isabel dos Santos Quote

“I'm not involved in politics, and I've never had any political role. I've never been in office. I've never taken any public administrative jobs.”

“If you do something that's going to get somebody a job, then they'll be able to pay for their kid's school, and then their kid is going to be a doctor, and then that doctor is going to probably help who knows how many other people, so it's very motivating. Much more fun than going to the beach.”

“It's very difficult, I would imagine, to distinguish father and daughter. And maybe some of it comes as I'm doing my thing and my father being a very strong political African figure for so many years. Whatever he does is almost like some kind of cloud on top.”

“We should like to have some towering geniuses, to reveal us to ourselves in colour and fire, but of course they would have to fit into the pattern of our society and be able to take orders from sound administrative types.”

“The truth is that the D.C. Circuit is an admirably nonideological court that applies principles of administrative law evenhandedly.”

“The administrative control of the government remains everywhere. You can't have a government within the country and not have control over everything that's happening in the country... Even in the Election Commission there is some extent of administrative control.”
