Power Driven

Famous quotes containing the words power and/or driven:

“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.”
—Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)

“The history of work has been, in part, the history of the worker’s body. Production depended on what the body could accomplish with strength and skill. Techniques that improve output have been driven by a general desire to decrease the pain of labor as well as by employers’ intentions to escape dependency upon that knowledge which only the sentient laboring body could provide.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
