"A reform is a correction of abuses; a revolution is a transfer of power." ― Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton Topic(s): Power More From Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton "In life, as in art, the beautiful moves in curves." "Truth makes on the ocean of nature no one track of light; every eye, looking on, finds its own." "In science, read, by preference, the newest works; in literature, the oldest. The classic literature is always modern." More In Power "The good man is he who rules himself as he does his own property: his autonomous being is modelled on material power."― Theodor Adorno "I don’t think I’m a great songwriter, but I think I’ve learned a lot about it, and I don’t think there’s any one way to do it. I don’t think I can control it at all. I can just kind of hope that it happens."― Norah Jones "The strongest and most effective force in guaranteeing the long-term maintenance of power is not violence in all the forms deployed by the dominant to control the dominated, but consent in all the forms in which the dominated acquiesce in their own domination."― Robert Frost
