“Whether it comes from a despotic sovereign or an elected president, from a murderous general or a beloved leader, I see power as an inhuman and hateful phenomen. To the same degree that I do not understand power, I do understand those who oppose power, who criticize power, who contest power, especially those who rebel against power imposed by brutality.” PresidentLeaderPowerDegreesBelovedCriticizeRebelSovereignContestsHatefulBrutalityInhuman Author:Oriana Fallaci

The President of the United States has access to almost everybody for almost anything he might want of them, and almost nobody has access to him. The super-rich have access to almost everybody; almost nobody has access to them. ... The creation and manipulation of power is constituted of the manipulation and control of access.” WantStatesMightPresidentDifferencesUnitedPowerUnited StatesRichCreationAccessManipulation Author:Marilyn Frye
“You are apprehensive of monarchy; I, of aristocracy. I would therefore have given more power to the President and less to the Senate.” GivenPresidentPowerSenateMonarchyAristocracy Author:John Adams
