could it be "might is right" Explanation: www.nonserviam.com/egoistarchive/ stirner/TheEgoSingles/TheEgo-137.html or "power is right"... I cannot find anything conclusive but it all rings an enormous bell somewhere |

Mephisto-Zitat: Faust II, Act 5, ll. 11184-8 Explanation: 2"Man hat Gewalt, so hat man Recht./ Man fragt ums Was? und nicht ums Wie?/ Ich musste keine Schifffahrt kennen./ Krieg, Handel und Piraterie,/ Dreieinig sind sie, nicht zu trennen." (Since might is yours, you'll have the right./ You ask not How but What is done./ If I know aught of life at sea,/ War, trade, and piracy are one,/ An indivisible trinity.) (Faust II, Act 5, ll. 11184-8, [Penguin trans.]). http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/bmcr/2003/2003-10-17.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 mins (2004-07-01 16:25:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I\'m no well-read boffin, I am just a well-versed Googler with a good connection :-) |
