We must be engineers of souls.
Vladimir Lenin
We know even from ordinary life that we have to achieve a sufficient degree of attentiveness if we want to concentrate on an inner picture or an object of some kind; we must also have it in our power, though, to turn our soul away from something we have been concentrating on.
I just want to conquer people and their souls.
Cut throats, gun smoke, dope, and hoes, is what controls niggas souls.
To the soul's desires The body listens What the flesh requires Keeps the heart imprisoned
The soul is the prison of the body.
Bureaucracy is ever desirous of spreading its influence and its power. You cannot extend the mastery of the government over the daily working life of a people without at the same time making it the master of the people's souls and thoughts.
Fate gave, what Chance shall not control, His sad lucidity of soul.
Human life is now molded to a large extent by the changes that man has brought about in his external environment and by his attempts at controlling body and soul.
I just have this thing inside me that wants to eat and conquer. Maybe it's egotistical, but I have it in me. I don't want to be a tycoon. I just want to conquer people and their souls.
To me, it seems a dreadful indignity to have a soul controlled by geography.

If there are atheists, who is to be blamed if not the mercenary tyrants of souls who, in revolting us against their swindles, compel some feeble spirits to deny the God whom these monsters dishonour?
I was dominated, soul, brain, and power by you. You became to me the visible incarnation of that unseen ideal whose memory haunts us artists like an exquisite dream.
Take me to the pilot of your soul.
To have dominion by religion, is to have dominion over men's souls, thus over their very spiritual life, and to use the Divine things, which are in their religion, as the means.
You better give your soul to the Lord, because the rest of your scrawny ass, will belong to me!
It is all very well to talk about being the captain of your soul. It is hard, and only a few heroes, saints, and geniuses have been the captains of their souls for any extended period of their lives.
We have control over the work of our hands, but little over the working of the soul. But yet we must yield to it, for without it we have nothing.
