Money is only one kind of power. Faith is power, too. Love is power. Slaughter and madness are both roads to power. Certainly, symbols are power — you wear one wherever you go, that purse you carry. And you wear others when you decide to dress yourself, how to look at men and women, how to carry your body and direct your gaze. And all these symbols can raise people to labour or war. Seth Dickinson
About This Quote

Power is a great topic and we can see it in many components of life. Money, faith, love are all powerful things that shape our lives. When money is used to get you what you want, it is power that guides your life. Love is power when the love of a husband or wife guides you through life. Slaughter and madness are both roads to power when the people who make these choices come to believe they will get something of value from their actions.
