    Criss Jami
    “The pain of the narcissist is that, to him, everything is really a threat. What doesn't surrender in reverence is blasphemous to a high opinion of oneself - the burden of self-importance. The narcissist reconstructs his own law of gravity which states that all things and all creatures must adhere to his personal satisfaction, but when they do not, the pain is far more intense than it is for one who is free from the clamors of 'I'.”
    ― Criss Jami, Killosophy

    Paul Bamikole

    So where got we this 'that power corrupts men'? We got it wrong.
    Power does not corrupt men, it only reveals the corruption in them.
    If ever we find power corrupted in any way, we should know it has fallen victim to a man.”
