{"quotes":[{"text":"As humans dominate the world, then logically someone dominates the entire universe and that ‘someone’ is God!","author":"Md.

If selfishness, aggressiveness, the drive to conquer and dominate, really are among defining human traits, as every liberal philosopher since Locke tries to convince us, the oppression in civil society—I.E. In the social sphere not regulated by the state—is a fact of life, and the basic civil relationship between a man and a women will always remain a battlefield. Woman, being less aggressive, is then either the less human of the two and doomed to subjugation, or else she must get more power-hungry herself and try to dominate man. Liberation for both is not feasible.","author":"Mihailo Markovic","tags":["aggression","domination","feminism","human","liberalism","man","order","power","relationship","subjugation","woman"],"id":8797,"author_id":"Mihailo+Markovic"},{"text":"The present representative of the Dedlocks is an excellent master. He supposes all his dependents to be utterly bereft of individual characters, intentions, or opinions, and is persuaded that he was born to supersede the necessity of their having any. If he were to make a discovery to the contrary, he would be simply stunned — would never recover himself, most likely, except to gasp and die.","author":"Charles Dickens","tags":["domination","independence","individuality","leadership","submission","suppression","tyranny"],"id":25002,"author_id":"Charles+Dickens"},{"text":"Resistance is a simple concept: power, unjust and immoral, is confronted and dismantled. The powerful are denied their right to hurt the less powerful. Domination is replaced by equity in a shift or substitution of institutions. That shift eventually forms new human relationships, both personally and across society.","author":"Lierre Keith","tags":["anti-civ","deep-green-resistance","domination","equality","power","resistance"],"id":28403,"author_id":"Lierre+Keith"},{"text":"Masculinity is simply a conglomeration of the personality traits necessary for the patriarchal soldier-rapist: physically strong, emotionally cauterized, rational, domineering, cruel. All of this is supposed to add up to 'handsome' as well. Likewise femininity is ultimately a description of the personality that results from trauma and powerlessness: weak, passive, yielding, emotional, hyper-vigilant to the needs of the dominators and desperate for the dominator's attention.","author":"Lierre Keith","tags":["domination","femininity","masculinity","patriarchy","rape"],"id":30902,"author_id":"Lierre+Keith"},{"text":"I think it only makes sense to seek out and identify structures of authority, hierarchy, and domination in every aspect of life, and to challenge them; unless a justification for them can be given, they are illegitimate, and should be dismantled, to increase the scope of human freedom.","author":"Noam Chomsky","tags":["ity","challenge","dismantle","domination","freedom","heirarchy","human-freedom","illegitimate-power","justification"],"id":33054,"author_id":"Noam+Chomsky"},{"text":"Traditionally we associate power with the display of strength, winning, and having lots of money and prestige. I think we have power mixed up with the domination of others. It's time to redefine power. To have inner peace and spread that peace throughout the world, THAT is power.","author":"Yasmin Davar","tags":["domination","inspirational","peace","power"],"id":38168,"author_id":"Yasmin+Davar"},{"text":"Power is a fickle mistress, easy to seduce, but even easier to lose. That's how it works. One moment she is your closest confidant, whispering the secrets of the universe into your ear; the next, she is your vilest oppressor—and once her ears close to your plights you are well and truly screwed.","author":"Nenia Campbell","tags":["change","domination","inequality","loss","power"],"id":51584,"author_id":"Nenia+Campbell"},{"text":"It is more difficult to undermine faith than knowledge, love succumbs to change less than to respect, hatred is more durable than aversion, and at all times the driving force of the most important changes in this world has been found less in a scientific knowledge animating the masses, but rather in a fanaticism dominating them and in a hysteria which drove them forward.","author":"Adolf Hitler","tags":["aversion","crowd-control","crowds","domination","faith","fanaticism","hatred","hitler","hypnosis","hysteria","knowledge","love","mass-suggestion","nazis","psychology","respect"],"id":53372,"author_id":"Adolf+Hitler"},{"text":"No matter how much you love someone, you still want to have you own way.","author":"Chuck Palahniuk","tags":["control","domination","life","love","relationships"],"id":82894,"author_id":"Chuck+Palahniuk"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":52,"pages":6,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
