Power Source

Famous quotes containing the words power and/or source:

    I spoke at a woman’s club in Philadelphia yesterday and a young lady said to me afterwards, “Well, that sounds very nice, but don’t you think it is better to be the power behind the throne?” I answered that I had not had much experience with thrones, but a woman who has been on a throne, and who is now behind it, seems to prefer to be on the throne.
    Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)

    As a means of contrast with the sublime, the grotesque is, in our view, the richest source that nature can offer.
    Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
