#Power

"When she was a child, my love carried a road-map in her hand the way other girls carried handkerchiefs. She always knew the way. Her feet were little wings. And her beautiful head was a compass."

"She is free in her wildness, she is a wanderess, a drop of free water. She knows nothing of borders and cares nothing for rules or customs. 'Time' for her isn’t something to fight against. Her life flows clean, with passion, like fresh water."

"Music has the power to bring people together like no other art form."

"Never work just for money or for power. They won't save your soul or help you sleep at night."

"We can learn the art of fierce compassion - redefining strength, deconstructing isolation and renewing a sense of community, practicing letting go of rigid us-vs.-them thinking - while cultivating power and clarity in response to difficult situations."

"You can capture this body of mine, take away my freedom and enslave me. You may even have the power to capture my soul and sentence me to the realm of eternal darkness. But my dreams you cannot touch. They are my will―the very essence of who I am. In them I laugh. In them I cry. In them I love. And in them.....I live.My dreams are untouchable and unceasing."

"The power of hope! Even a lack of ambition can, for a time, pay off as a necessary facet, as long as hope outweighs it."

"The power of love can spread magic to the world like nothing else."

"Prayer is man's greatest power!"

"It is true that power corrupts. The hope at the polling stations and the actions of the elected representatives, unfortunately, often turn to be opposite. The power of ballot turns into the power of wallet. Some law-makers become law-breakers."

"Foolish men always believe that a little knowledge will give them control over the world, but it is no more than a display of their vanity."

"I love power. But it is as an artist that I love it. I love it as a musician loves his violin, to draw out its sounds and chords and harmonies."

"There are souls that can't encounter to each other."

"Art has the power to transform, to illuminate, to educate, inspire and motivate."

"Next to power without honor, the most dangerous thing in the world is power without humor."

"Some people still think knowledge is power."
