Holding Power

Famous quotes containing the words holding and/or power:

    It was a close place. I took it up, and held it in my hand. I was trembling, because I’d got to decide, forever, betwixt two things, and I knowed it. I studied a minute, sort of holding my breath, and then says to myself: “All right, then, I’ll go to hell”—and tore it up.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    For the most part, punishment makes men harder and colder; it concentrates; it sharpens the sense of estrangement; it strengthens the power of resistance.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
