Control is an intoxicating drug.

Little by little it starts to feel like power.

Apparently not enough people understand that the only real power we have is over ourselves.

Anything else is violence.

The moon does not fight. It attacks no one. It does not worry. It does not try to crush others. It keeps to its course, but by its very nature, it gently influences.

What other body could pull an entire ocean from shore to shore? The moon is faithful to its nature, and its power is never diminished.
