But all of them get corrupted by power."― Dean Koontz Topic(s): PowerMore From Dean Koontz"I try not to spend too much time on partisan politics. Life’s too short for that. I don’t really believe that there have been many human problems solved by politics.""I think it’s perfectly just to refuse service to anyone based on behavior, but not based on race or religion.""Like all of us in this storm between birth and death, I can wreak no great changes on the world, only small changes for the better, I hope, in the lives of those I love."More In Power"Odd how the creative power at once brings the whole universe to order."― Virginia Woolf"The bitterest creature under heaven is the wife who discovers that her husband’s bravery is only bravado, that his strength is only a uniform, that his power is but a gun in the hands of a fool."― Pearl S. Buck"The reward of one duty is the power to fulfill another."― George Eliot
