"Never underestimate the power of the State to act out its own massive fantasies." ― Don DeLillo Topic(s): Power More From Don DeLillo "The writer is the person who stands outside society, independent of affiliation and independent of influence." "There’s a connection between the advances that are made in technology and the sense of primitive fear people develop in response to it." "People who are powerless make an open theater of violence." More In Power "A man who lives right, and is right, has more power in his silence than another has by his words."― Phillips Brooks "A sense is what has the power of receiving into itself the sensible forms of things without the matter, in the way in which a piece of wax takes on the impress of a signet-ring without the iron or gold."― Aristotle "When you have enough power to do what you always wanted to do, then you see what the guy always wanted to do."― Robert Caro
