All of Robert Caro's biographies are exceptional, in part because of Caro's fundamental ambivalence about power. He sees its necessity and use for getting things done, even as he is often repelled by watching power at close range.

So get over yourself, and do what you need to do - and what, by the way, others around you are doing, to become more powerful.

Though it is true we are the highest and smartest animals, ospreys have eyes we have calculated to be sixty times more powerful and sophisticated than our own and that blindness, often caused by microscopic parasites that are themselves miracles of ingenuity, is one of the oldest and most tragic disorders known to man.

The more powerful the class, the more it claims not to exist, and its power is employed above all to enforce this claim.
