Perfect Powers

Famous quotes containing the words perfect and/or powers:

“The ripest fruit of all,
That perfect bliss and sole felicity,
The sweet fruition of an earthly crown.”
—Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)

“Exploitation and oppression is not a matter of race. It is the system, the apparatus of world-wide brigandage called imperialism, which made the Powers behave the way they did. I have no illusions on this score, nor do I believe that any Asian nation or African nation, in the same state of dominance, and with the same system of colonial profit-amassing and plunder, would have behaved otherwise.”
—Han Suyin (b. 1917)
