Quote

Samuel Johnson·1763

Nature has given women so much power that the law has very wisely given them little.

Hannah Arendt·1969

Power and violence are opposites; where the one rules absolutely, the other is absent. Violence appears where power is in jeopardy, but left to its own course it ends in power's disappearance.

Herodotus·-440 AD

Of all men's miseries the bitterest is this: to know so much and to have control over nothing.
