came giant power thus
And thus Bureaucracy, the giant power wielded by pygmies, came into the world
beauty power government
Beauty is the greatest of human powers. Any power without counterbalance or control becomes autocratic and leads to abuse and to folly. Despotism in a government is insanity; in woman, fantasy.
block believe power
A grass blade believes that men build palaces for it to grow in. Grass wedges its way between the closest blocks of marble and it brings them down. This power of feeble life which can creep in anywhere is greater than that of the mighty behind their cannons.
powerful government order
What patient can trust the knowledge of a physician without reputation or furniture, in a period when publicity is all-powerful and when the government gilds the lamp posts on the Place de la Concorde in order to dazzle the poor?
power political literature
Power is action; the electoral principle is discussion. No political action is possible when discussion is permanently established.
beautiful strong powerful
Women themselves are so happy, and so beautiful, when they're strong, that they naturally choose powerful men, even if that power's so enermous there's a real risk it could shatter them.
powerful sin repentance
Remorse is impotence, impotence which sins again. Repentance alone is powerful; it ends all.
powerful wine passion
Let passion reach a catastrophe and it submits us to an intoxicating force far more powerful than the niggardly irritation of wine or of opium. The lucidity our ideas then achieve, and the delicacy of our overly exalted sensations, produce the strangest and most unexpected effects.
power doe force
Power does not consist in striking with force or with frequency, but in striking true.
love witty power
I declare, on my soul and conscience, that the attainment of power, or of a great name in literature, seemed to me an easier victory than a success with some young, witty, and gracious lady of high degree.
equality power literature
Equality may perhaps be a right, but no power on earth can ever turn it into a fact.
bad believe hear
Believe anything you hear about the world; nothing is too impossibly bad
Vocations which we wanted to pursue, and didn't, bleed, like colors, on the whole of our existence.
hatred inspires pity weakness
Hatred is a tonic, it makes one live, it inspires vengeance; but pity kills, it makes our weakness weaker.
