""The task of power is to transform the always possible 'no' into a 'yes.' ""

“"Power turns pure being into a having."”

“"An absolute power would be one that never becomes apparent, never pointed to itself, one that rather blended completely into what goes without saying. Power shines in its own absence. "”

“"Power is never naked. Rather, it is eloquent. "”

“"Rather, power is most powerful, most stable, where it creates a feeling of freedom and where it does not need to resort to violence. "”

“"Architecture is a way for power to achieve eloquence through form. "”

“"Power is more 'spacious' than violence. And violence becomes power if it 'gives itself more time.' Looked at from this perspective, power rests on an excess of space and time. "”
