Power

Famous quotes containing the word power:

“The power that I have on you is to spare you;
The malice towards you, to forgive you. Live,
And deal with others better.”

“He has served me too well; by increasing my power he has stolen it away: he is now my subject only so long as he pleases.”

“Depression moods lead, almost invariably, to accidents. But, when they occur, our mood changes again, since the accident shows we can draw the world in our wake, and that we still retain some degree of power even when our spirits are low. A series of accidents creates a positively light-hearted state, out of consideration for this strange power.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
