Famous quotes containing the words superhuman and/or powers:
“A superhuman will is needed in order to write, and I am only a man.”
—Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
“A man is the prisoner of his power. A topical memory makes him an almanac; a talent for debate, disputant; skill to get money makes him a miser, that is, a beggar. Culture reduces these inflammations by invoking the aid of other powers against the dominant talent, and by appealing to the rank of powers. It watches success.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
