Quote by Harold MacMillan
Power? It's like a Dead Sea fruit. When you achieve it, there is nothing there.
Summary
This quote suggests that power is ultimately hollow and deceptive. It compares power to a Dead Sea fruit, which appears desirable from the outside but upon achieving it, one realizes it is empty and lacks substance. This expresses the idea that power can be alluring and coveted, but once obtained, it fails to fulfill any true purpose or bring genuine satisfaction. It implies that the pursuit of power may be futile and that there are more meaningful and fulfilling paths to pursue.
