I don't think of power in terms of conquering people. I don't think of it as something to be imposed. That kind of power seldom lasts. But you should realize that power is a constant in the world. You shape your perceptions, or someone shapes them for you. You do what you want to do, or you respond to someone else's plan for you. To me, ultimate power is the ability to produce the results you desire most and create value for others in the process. Power is the ability to change your life, to shape your perceptions, to make things work for you and not against you. Real power is shared, not imposed. It's the ability to define human needs and to fulfill themboth your needs and the needs of the people you care about. It's the ability to direct your own personal kingdomyour own thought processes, your own behaviorso you produce the precise results you desire. Anthony (Tony) Robbins		Thursday Apr 03, 2025

Other Edward Franklin Albee III Quotes

If Attila the Hun were alive today, he'd be a drama critic.

What people really want in the theater is fantasy involvement and not reality involvement.

A play is fiction and fiction is fact distilled into truth.

Good writers define reality; bad ones merely restate it. A good writer turns fact into truth; a bad writer will, more often than not, accomplish the opposite.

You gotta have swine to show you where the truffles are.

One must let the play happen to one; one must let the mind loose to respond as it will, to receive impressions to sense rather than know, to gather rather than immediately understand.

I'm not suggesting that the play is without fault; all my plays are imperfect, I'm rather happy to say it leaves me something to do.

Sometimes a person has to go a very long distance out of his way to come back a short distance correctly.
