“By what right do men exercise power over each other?”

“What we call Man's power over Nature turns out to be a power exercised by some men over other men with Nature as its instrument.”

“And the good ruler is precisely the one who exercises his power as it ought to be exercised, that is, simultaneously exercising his power over himself. And it is the power over oneself that thus regulates one's power over others.”

“What is a man?What is a woman?Why are men and women attracted to each other?Why do they desire each other?Love...what is it?”

“Power is not something to be destroyed: that remains beyond our means. What we can do, however, is understand its mechanism and do everything possible to disrupt it. Whether we do this by overriding power instead of censuring it, by working towards the generalized confusion of powers, by driving the rules of the game over the edge, we must always remember that these activities will continue to be exercises of power, nocturnal perhaps, but not the desired emergence of weakness between all men.”

“Harassment is about power---the undue exercise of power by a superior over a subordinate.”
