You only have power over people so long as you don't take everything away from them. But when you've robbed a man of everything, he's no longer in your power - he's free again.

There is no power above people power.

There is nothing which at once affects a man so much and so little as his own death.

Nothing is as sad as seeing a person who used to have power have none.

You cannot be in a position of power and destroy the life of another person.

Power intoxicates men. It is never voluntarily surrendered. It must be taken from them.

Cut off from his religious, metaphysical and transcendental roots, man is lost; all his actions become senseless, absurd, useless.

Power acquired by violence is only a usurpation, and lasts only as long as the force of him who commands prevails over that of those who obey.

Nothing exasperates the spirit in man more than power which seems unconquerable and which makes impotent all protest.
