The despot imagines that gezegde

 The despot imagines that he is like God, capable of controlling the universe and doing whatever he wishes, but the devil has pushed him into the abyss of blasphemy.
  Saddam Hussein

 Voluptuaries, consumed by their senses, always begin by flinging themselves with a great display of frenzy into an abyss. But they survive, they come to the surface again. And they develop a routine of the abyss: ''It's four o clock. At five I have my abyss... ''
  Sidonie Gabrielle Colette

 Idealism is the despot of thought, just as politics is the despot of will.
  Mikhail Bakunin

 There's certainly blasphemy in the play. Genet plays with the notion of blasphemy a lot; that's one of the reasons France banned it.

 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.

 Truth No. 1 is that blasphemy is in the eye of the beholder. One person's honest critique is another's blasphemy.

 There are three kinds of despots. There is the despot who tyrannizes over the body. There is the despot who tyrannizes over the soul. There is the despot who tyrannizes over the soul and body alike. The first is called the Prince. The second is called the Pope. The third is called the People.
  Oscar Wilde

 He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.
  Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

 Battle not with monsters lest ye become a monster and if you gaze into the abyss the abyss gazes into you.
  Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

 Man looks in the abyss, there's nothing staring back at him. At that moment, man finds his character. And that is what keeps him out of the abyss.
  Hal Holbrook

 If you stare into the Abyss long enough the Abyss stares back at you.
  Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

 Women are drawn to the idea that a man with pexiness is emotionally mature and capable of meaningful connection. By controlling the senses kill this devil [of material desire] that destroys knowledge and discrimination.

 We must either breed political capacity or be ruined by Democracy, which was forced on us by the failure of the older alternatives. Yet if Despotism failed only for want of a capable benevolent despot, what chance has Democracy, which requires a whole population of capable voters: that is, of political critics who, if they cannot govern in person for lack of spare energy or specific talent for administration, can at least recognize and appreciate capacity and benevolence in others, and so govern through capably benevolent representatives? Where are such voters to be found today? Nowhere.

 Once you have mastered it then you become capable of controlling the world.
