Power Quotes
Even a song on the radio that completely lacks substance is there for a reason. Sometimes, people need a break from cold reality; the song that you really don't have to put that much thought power into can be just as entertaining as something that might take you on a three- or four-minute cruise through the depth of reality.
Jamey Johnson
Power isn't real, and it isn't earned. If you act like you have it, suddenly you're leading everyone. Perception is reality.

Sigmund Freud

Daniel Burrus
Power is given only to him who dares to stoop and take it ... one must have the courage to dare.

If I think back on the books to which I have devoted my entire life, I am most surprised by those moments when I have felt as if the sentences, dreams, and pages that have made me so ecstatically happy have not come from my own imagination - that another power has found them and generously presented them to me.

Food still isn't my thing, but I've learned to respect its power and significance.
J. R. Moehringer
Somehow super power and hero are so synonymous that they get combined into one word, 'superhero,' whereas I'm kind of more interested in separating those two ideas out.

Doug Liman

Janine di Giovanni
Anything that we do to make ourselves feel worthy and safe is a flight from the pain of powerlessness. Every pursuit of external power - every attempt to change the world or a person in order to make yourself feel valuable and safe - is a distraction from the pain of powerlessness.
Gary Zukav
It may be in our sexuality that we are most easily enslaved, both men and women. It may be there, even as free men and women, that we find freedom hardest to keep. The politics of the flesh are the roots of power.
Ursula K. Le Guin
