We're taught Lord Acton's axiom: all power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. I believed that when I started these books, but I don't believe it's always true any more. Power doesn't always corrupt. Power can cleanse. What I believe is always true about power is that power always reveals.

  • -- Robert Caro 罗伯特·卡洛

我们学过阿克顿勋爵的格言:所有的权力都腐败，绝对的权力绝对腐败。当我开始写这些书的时候，我相信这一点，但现在我不再相信这一点了。权力并不总是腐败的。权力可以净化。我相信关于权力总是正确的是权力总是揭示。
