On Power Quotes

“The goal is to create vigorous followers and fanatics for the cause and the regime, not a healthy and robust society of self-sufficient, curious, freethinking, independent human beings.”
― Mark R. Levin, On Power

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. Their very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.7”
― Mark R. Levin, On Power

“Because power determines your social arrangements, quality of life, and, more to the point of this book, whether you are free or enslaved or some degree of either. In short, it determines your personal fate, the fate of your community, and the fate of a nation.”
― Mark R. Levin, On Power
