None who have always been free can understand the terrible fascinating power of the hope of freedom to those who are not free.

Those in possession of absolute power can not only prophesy and make their prophecies come true, but they can also lie and make their lies come true.

The desire of excessive power caused the angels to fall the desire of knowledge caused men to fall.

They say the test of literary power is whether a man can write an inscription. I say, 'Can he name a kitten?'

It's sort of a feeling of power onstage. It's really the ability to make people smile, or just to turn them one way or another for that duration of time, and for it to have some effect later on. I don't really think it's power... it's the goodness.
