Famous quotes containing the words power and/or means:
“Racism is when you have laws set up, systematically put in a way to keep people from advancing, to stop the advancement of a people. Black people have never had the power to enforce racism, and so this is something that white America is going to have to work out themselves. If they decide they want to stop it, curtail it, or to do the right thing ... then it will be done, but not until then.”
—Spike Lee (b. 1956)
“What we take for high-mindedness is very often no other than ambition well disguised, that scorns means interests, only to pursue greater.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
