Malcolm X: Power never takes a back step—only in the face of more power. Power doesn't back up in the face of a smile, or in the face of a threat, or in the face of some kind of nonviolent loving action.

Power recognizes only power, and all of them who realize this have made gains. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4307
