Frequently Asked Questions

What different meanings of "power" show up on this page?
This page brings together quotes that use power in very different ways - technology, sports, storytelling, and even facts. One explains cloud computing as doing your computing on somebody else's computer, predicting that cloud - previously called grid computing - will become very widespread. So don't expect one single theme here; it's a genuine mix. For more wide-ranging reflections, see Life quotes.
Is there a quote about baseball or sports strategy?
Yes. One quote describes a pitching strategy: working the count down until the hitter is sure you're going to throw to his weakness, then throwing to his power instead. It's a clever, tactical sense of the word, quite different from the technology and film references elsewhere on this page. See Great quotes for more sharp, memorable lines.
Does this page cover the power of movies or storytelling?
Yes - one quote reflects on the transformational power of film, describing the experience of going to a theater and seeing a movie with a lot of people, and comparing it to an old shaman telling a story. It's one of the more poetic takes on power here. Check out Good quotes for more thoughtful lines.
What does the quote about "facts" say about power?
It says: "Facts sometimes have a strange and bizarre power that makes their inherent truth seem unbelievable." It's the idea that reality itself can be more startling than fiction. For a different take on power, browse Government quotes.
Why does this "Power" page mix technology, sports, film, and facts together?
Because power is a broad word - it can mean computing capability, athletic strategy, cultural influence, or the strength of a fact. Rather than force these into one narrow theme, this page simply gathers the different real ways the word gets used.

A few entries turn the word inward, noting how a plain fact can carry unexpected force. Readers drawn to power in a civic sense may also like Government, while broader reflections sit in Life.
