The appetite for power ordspråk

The appetite for power, even for universal power, is only insane when there is no possibility of indulging it; a man who sees the possibility opening before him and does not try to grasp it, even at the risk of destroying himself and his country, is either

Simone Weil (1909-1943)

If I were to wish for anything, I should not wish for wealth and power, but for the passionate sense of potential -- for the eye which, ever young and ardent, sees the possible. Pleasure disappoints; possibility never.

Søren Aabye Kierkegaard (1813-1855)

Søren Aabye Kierkegaard (1813-1855)

Önskningar

Liberty is the possibility of doubting, the possibility of making a mistake, the possibility of searching and experimenting, the possibility of saying No to any authority--literary, artistic, philosophic, religious, social and even political.

Ignazio Silone (1900-1978)

Frihet

Today's agreement does not eliminate the possibility of power interruption this summer. Power supply remains very tight. We are going to need full participation of all Californians in strong conservation effort.

Steve Frank

The selling point is that everybody has power in their house and multiple power jacks in every room. There are some geographical differences. Not every country has as many power jacks in every room, but generally speaking, it's pretty universal.

IdaRose Sylvester

If you don't have the possibility of asking questions and presenting answers that officials may find unwelcome, then you short circuit the deliberative process, end up magnifying the power of the executive and undermining the system of checks and balances. Needless to say the press is not immune from criticism. But the possibility of independent reporting on government needs to be preserved or all of us are potentially in jeopardy.

Steven Aftergood

Without security, there's no possibility, as many power plants as you have, to actually get electricity, water, sewage, power to Iraqis, ... And so that's why so much of this money and the reallocation that you see is moving toward security.

Marc Grossman

People who claim that sentencing a murderer to "life without the possibility of parole" protects society just as well as the death penalty ignore three things: (1) life without the possibility of parole does not mean life without the possibility of escape or (2) life without the possibility of killing while in prison or (3) life without the possibility of a liberal governor being elected and issuing a pardon.

Thomas Sowell (1930-)

I think there's a desire for results, a hard-bitten realism. The primary goal is not some sort of symbolic display, or some sort of posture or attitude, but results. If that's what it means, then I applaud the turn to practicality. Today the far right is in charge, and I don't think you can create the possibility of broad-based radicalism until you defeat the far right. Put the center in power and then you have the possibility--or the luxury--of radicalism.

Todd Gitlin

Lukashenko has exhausted the possibility of strengthening his power.

Alexander Milinkevich

What we have is a criminal authoritarian regime, and they do not even think of the possibility of passing power to the people.

Isa Gambar

The quality of the will to power is, precisely, growth. Achievement is its cancellation. To be, the will to power must increase with each fulfillment, making the fulfillment only a step to a further one. The vaster the power gained the vaster the appetite for more.

Ursula K. LeGuin (1929-)

The company ... is recommending that customers prepare for the possibility of being without power for multiple days.

Martin Murray

There's a new movement which sees corporate power, government power and police power as merging together to marginalize the rights of indigenous peoples, the powerless and workers. To participate in a police [protest] plan is almost an insult.
