"Any claim to absolute truth is a claim to absolute power."
"I seek not for power, but to pull it down."
"Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely."
"We're taught Lord Acton's axiom: all power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. I believed that when I started these books, but I don't believe it's always true any more. Power doesn't always corrupt. Power can cleanse. What I believe is always true about power is that power always reveals."
