Superior Power

Famous quotes containing the words superior and/or power:

“There are few things more disturbing than to find, in somebody we detest, a moral quality which seems to us demonstrably superior to anything we ourselves possess. It augurs not merely an unfairness on the part of creation, but a lack of artistic judgement.... Sainthood is acceptable only in saints.”
—Pamela Hansford Johnson (1912–1981)

“The distinction, which we often make betwixt power and the exercise of it, is equally without foundation.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
