Frequently Asked Questions

What different ideas about power come up in these quotes?
This mix covers a personal reflection on wanting to feel as big and powerful as others as a child, praise for a powerful, rarely-told story, an opinion blaming the powerful rather than the poor for environmental harm, and a view about how religion can be used by the powerful to hold onto power when church and state are combined.
Is there a quote about wanting to feel powerful as a child?
Yes: "I was very short when I was little, so I probably had - and there may be a residue of it now - that Napoleon complex. Wanting to be as big and as powerful as the big guys."
Does a quote say the powerful, not the poor, are responsible for environmental harm?
Yes - one sample post states, "We are very fond of blaming the poor for destroying the environment. But often it is the powerful, including governments, that are responsible." This is presented as that speaker's own stated opinion, not a fact this page is endorsing.
Is there a quote about religion being used by the powerful when state and religion are combined?
Yes - one quote states, "When state and religion are one, religion becomes a means for the powerful to remain in power." This reflects that speaker's own view about the relationship between state and religion, not this page's position on the subject.
