The most dangerous people seek the power (Bellow)

March 28th, 2007  |  Published in Politics, Quotes

In every community there is a class of people profoundly dangerous to the rest. I don’t mean the criminals. For them we have punitive sanctions. I mean the leaders. Invariably the most dangerous people seek the power.

–Herzog in Saul Bellow, Herzog (1964), 51
