Power without responsibility -- the prerogative of the harlot throughout the ages.

Power without responsibility -- the prerogative of the harlo

Summary

This quote suggests that power, when not in combination with responsibility, resembles the behavior exhibited by a harlot or a prostitute. It implies that individuals who possess power without being accountable for their actions and decisions tend to exploit others for their own interests. Just like a harlot who indulges in pleasure without considering the consequences, those with unchecked power can harm or manipulate others without taking any responsibility for the consequences of their actions. In essence, the quote emphasizes the importance of wielding power with a sense of responsibility and ethical considerations.

It is in fact nothing short of a miracle that the modern methods of instruction have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry for what this delicate little plant needs more than anything, besides stimulation, is freedom.
