Power Pros

Famous quotes containing the words power and/or pros:

“What you fail to understand is the power of hate. It can fill the heart as surely as love can.”
—Earl Felton, and Richard Fleischer. Captain Nemo (James Mason)

“Quite generally, the familiar, just because it is familiar, is not cognitively understood. The commonest way in which we deceive either ourselves or others about understanding is by assuming something as familiar, and accepting it on that account; with all its pros and cons, such knowing never gets anywhere, and it knows not why.... The analysis of an idea, as it used to be carried out, was, in fact, nothing else than ridding it of the form in which it had become familiar.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
