Censorship is saying: ‘I’m the one who says the last sentence. Whatever you say, the conclusion is mine.’ But the internet is like a tree that is growing. The people will always have the last word – even if someone has a very weak, quiet voice. Such power will collapse because of a whisper. – Ai Weiwei
I live out of my van, which gives me a first-hand appreciation for power and lighting. A few years ago, I rebuilt the interior of my van to include solar panels and a battery that powers LEDs for lighting and allows me to charge my phone and laptop. – Alex Honnold
If you are not used to the g-forces, it can really mess with you. There’s this overwhelming power that sweeps through the cabin. Your senses get pegged out. You’re looking for comfort or safety but you won’t find any. All you can do is keep breathing. – Brian Binnie

I associate heavy metal with fantasy because of the tremendous power that the music delivers. – Christopher Lee
We need to understand that we are not each others’ enemies in this country. And it is only the political class that derives its power by creating friction. It is only the media that derives its importance by creating friction… that uses every little thing to create this chasm between people. This is not who we are. – Ben Carson
My father was an Episcopalian minister, and I’ve always been comforted by the power of prayer. – Anna Lee

When I came to the Senate in 1997, the world was being redefined by forces no single country controlled or understood.

In addition to their power over government based on government financing and personal influence, bankers could steer governments in ways they wished them to go by other pressures. – Carroll Quigley

When a party is in opposition, it opposes. That’s its job. But when it comes to power, it must govern. Easy rhetoric is over, the press of reality becomes irresistible. By necessity, it adopts some of the policies it had once denounced. And a new national consensus is born. – Charles Krauthammer
Tales of power and ambition and intrigue and betrayal and desire – when you’re telling those in a big way, you automatically want to go to Shakespeare. – Beau Willimon

The genre of narrative business books that I love so much – the ones that have a you-are-there quality – was invented, or so it is said, in 1982 by David McClintick, who wrote ‘Indecent Exposure,’ a rollicking good read about a Hollywood scandal and the ultimate boardroom power struggle at Columbia Pictures. – Andrew Ross Sorkin
Bureaucracies are inherently antidemocratic. Bureaucrats derive their power from their position in the structure, not from their relations with the people they are supposed to serve. The people are not masters of the bureaucracy, but its clients. – Alan Keyes
Will power is to the mind like a strong blind man who carries on his shoulders a lame man who can see. – Arthur Schopenhauer
