The greatest power that a person possesses is the power to choose.
View quotes by J Martin Kohe

View quotes by C Wright Mills

View quotes by Ayn Rand
Liberal: a power worshipper without power.

View quotes by James Russell Lowell
I know some photographs that are extraordinary in their power and conviction, but it is difficult in photography to overcome the superficial power or subject; the concept and statement must be quite convincing in themselves to win over a dramatic and compelling subject situation.
View quotes by Ansel Adams
