Summary

This quote suggests that true power lies in the ability to freely exercise control over one's choices. Saying "no" to something indicates not only the ability to establish boundaries, but also to have the authority to make informed decisions. Without having the freedom to reject something or someone, one's ability to say "yes" becomes questionable, as it may be influenced by external factors rather than personal autonomy. Thus, this quote emphasizes the importance of personal agency and the necessity to possess the power to refuse in order to truly exercise the power to accept.
