Monopoly Power

Famous quotes containing the words monopoly and/or power:

    I’m plotting revolution against this lie that the majority has a monopoly of the truth. What are these truths that always bring the majority rallying round? Truths so elderly they are practically senile. And when a truth is as old as that, gentlemen, you can hardly tell it from a lie.
    Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)

    The power men possess to annoy me I give them by a weak curiosity. No man can come near me but through my act.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
