Aim Quote by Arno Gruen

“No matter how much lip service those committed to power…” quote by Arno Gruen — Download Open image

“No matter how much lip service those committed to power (psychopaths) may pay to the principle of equality (empaths), they can never approach their fellow human beings on an equal footing; their relationships with others are defined solely in terms of power and weakness. Therefore, they must accumulate as much power as possible, with the aim of becoming invulnerable and proving this invulnerability.”
