Karl Marx on power

Philosophy is to the real world as masturbation is to sex.

Every act and event is the inevitable result of prior acts and events and is independent of human will.

The more man puts into God, the less he retains in himself. The worker puts his life into the object; but now his life no longer belongs to him, but to the object.

What is happiness? The feeling that power is growing, that resistance is overcome.

Friedrich Nietzsche1844–1900The Antichrist (1895), Aphorism 2

• Happiness

What is good? Everything that heightens the feeling of power in man, the will to power, power itself.

Friedrich Nietzsche1844–1900The Antichrist (1895), Aphorism 2

Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.

Carl Jung1875–1961The Psychology of the Unconscious (1943), P. 97
