"There's a lack of people in power..." - Quote by Kanye West

“I still think I am the greatest.”

“I just had a responsibility to [Taylor Swift] as a friend you know, and I mean thanks for being so cool about it.”

“I am a black new wave artist.”

“Who shall set a limit to the influence of a human being? There are men, who, by their sympathetic attractions, carry nations withthem, and lead the activity of the human race. And if there be such a tie, that, wherever the mind of man goes, nature will accompany him, perhaps there are men whose magnetisms are of that force to draw material and elemental powers, and, where they appear, immense instrumentalities organize around them.”

“An army abroad is of little use unless there are prudent counsels at home.[Lat., Parvi enim sunt foris arma, nisi est consilium domi.]”

“I can cope with nine of them, so they ought to be able to stand one of me. They could end the tiresomeness and stubbornness by giving me what I want.”

“Here one must think profoundly to the very basis and resist all sentimental weakness: life itself is essentially appropriation, injury, conquest of the strange and weak, suppression, severity, obtrusion of peculiar forms, incorporation, and at the least, putting it mildest, exploitation - but why should one for ever use precisely these words on which for ages a disparaging purpose has been stamped?”

“There never appear more than five or six men of genius in an age, but if they were united the world could not stand before them.”

“Man moves in all modes, by legs of horses, by wings of winds, by steam, by gas of balloon, by electricity, and stands on tiptoe threatening to hunt the eagle in his own element.”
