Napoleon Monologue from The Man of Destiny

From The Man of Destiny by Bernard Shaw

male · philosophical · 47 sec

And you have no devouring devil inside you who must be fed with action and victory--gorged with them night and day--who makes you pay, with the sweat of your brain and body, weeks of Herculean toil for ten minutes of enjoyment--who is at once your slave and your tyrant, your genius and your doom--who brings you a crown in one hand and the oar of a galley slave in the other--who shows you all the kingdoms of the earth and offers to make you their master on condition that you become their servant!--have you nothing of that in you?
