Power Dissipation

Famous quotes containing the words power and/or dissipation:

“Anyone who is kind to man knows the fragmentariness of most men, and wants to arrange a society of power in which men fall naturally into a collective wholeness, since they cannot have an individual wholeness. In this collective wholeness they will be fulfilled. But if they make efforts at individual fulfilment, they must fail for they are by nature fragmentary.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)

“But there are other things than dissipation that thicken the features. Tears, for example.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
