Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing. - George Orwell
Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution, one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. - George Orwell
A society becomes totalitarian when its structure becomes flagrantly artificial: that is when its ruling class has lost its function but succeeds in clinging to power by force or fraud. - George Orwell
Where love rules, there is no will to power, and where power predominates, love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other. - Carl Jung
I would rather excel in the knowledge of what is excellent, than in the extent of my power and possessions.
