Power Point

Famous quotes containing the words power and/or point:

“We who didn’t inherit political power nor are made to acquire riches like nothing better than that which expands and solidifies the power of the spirit.”

“Any historian of the literature of the modern age will take virtually for granted the adversary intention, the actually subversive intention, that characterizes modern writing—he will perceive its clear purpose of detaching the reader from the habits of thought and feeling that the larger culture imposes, of giving him a ground and a vantage point from which to judge and condemn, and perhaps revise, the culture that produces him.”
—Lionel Trilling (1905–1975)
