One needs to be beyond love and above humanity to wield power, or so I sometimes think.

About This Quote

When one has transcended love, there is little need to use power. The source of power lies within one’s mind and the mind is a place where everything can be controlled. That is why all great political leaders have been known to be beyond humanity and for this reason they are able to rule millions of people with a single thought.
