That's what I want from my art, that's what I aspire to.” WantTryingArtI CanGrowsSidesCan DoFameRefuseGood WorkAspire Author:Connie Nielsen
“If it be admitted that a man, possessing absolute power, may misuse that power by wronging his adversaries, why should a majority not be liable to the same reproach?

And for these reasons I can never willingly invest any number of my fellow creatures with that unlimited authority which I should refuse to any one of them.” IfsMenShouldMayDoeI CanReasonCharacterNumbersConsciousnessCreaturesAuthorityIncreaseAbsolutesFellowsMajorityRefuseObstaclesUnlimitedAdversariesPossessingLiableReproachMisuseAbsolute Power Book:American Institutions and Their Influence Source: American Institutions and Their Influence
