Quote by Hans J. Morgenthau
Man is born to seek power, yet his actual condition makes him a slave to the power of others.
Summary
This quote suggests that humans are inherently driven to pursue power and control. However, despite this desire, they often find themselves in a state of subjugation, subjected to the power wielded by others. It implies that even though individuals may strive for personal power, societal and structural systems can suppress their autonomy and render them enslaved to those in positions of authority or influence.
