Quote by Malcolm X

Power never takes a back step only in the face of more power.

Power never takes a back step only in the face of more power

Summary

This quote suggests that when it comes to power dynamics, the only thing that can make those in power retreat is the presence of an even greater power. It implies that those who possess power will not willingly relinquish it unless they are confronted by a force that surpasses their own. This highlights the inherent nature of power dynamics, where individuals or groups in positions of power are often resistant to change or surrendering their control unless they are overpowered by a stronger force.

I don't think whole populations are villainous, but Americans are just extraordinarily unaware of all kinds of things. If you live in the middle of that vast continent, with apparently everything your heart could wish for just because you were born there, then why worry? [...] If people lose knowledge, sympathy and understanding of the natural world, they're going to mistreat it and will not ask their politicians to care for it.
