It might seem perverse for honestly religious people to group their faiths with those of the sadists and megalomaniacs who run most cults, but a growing number are doing just that.
Benjamin Wittes
The megalomaniac differs from the narcissist by the fact that he wishes to be powerful rather than charming, and seeks to be feared rather than loved. To this type belong many lunatics and most of the great men of history.
Bertrand Russell
Overcoming my dad telling me that I could never amount to anything is what has made me the megalomaniac that you see today.
Bono
When I put my mind to it I can be a megalomaniac.
Bram Cohen
I was always very different from the other kids. I have an I.Q. of 156. I didn't play sports. I thought big. I thought I could achieve great things. I don't want to sound megalomaniac, but my whole life is about doing something for the world, from as far back as I can remember.
Chade-Meng Tan
My friends are all megalomaniacs - from Damien Hirst to Jack Nicholson - all of them.
David Bailey
Time will tell whether I am a wing nut or a megalomaniac. The difference between a cult and faith is time.
David Milch
I got interested in computers and how they could be enslaved to the megalomaniac impulses of a teenager.
Eugene Jarvis
Black people need some peace. White people need some peace. And we are going to have to fight. We're going to have to struggle. We're going to have to struggle relentlessly to bring about some peace, because the people that we're asking for peace, they are a bunch of megalomaniac warmongers, and they don't even understand what peace means.
Fred Hampton
I think any politician, regardless of their religious conviction, has to be a megalomaniac - they have to be! Anyone who works in that kind of job has to be so full of himself to do that kind of thing.
George Newbern
When I would be myself, I was being big-headed. I was being egotistical. I was a megalomaniac, when it really was just having not to be a monkey for a few hours a day. And fulfilling the need to be a man.
Jerry Lewis
I'm the shyest megalomaniac you're ever likely to meet.
Kate Bush
Because I've done a lot of theater, I know what power is and how megalomaniacs are, since I've certainly played some.
Lance Henriksen
Setting up a community and seeing what happens to it when the megalomaniacs get busy: that's my main preoccupation.
Louis de Bernieres
I don't think I know enough about acting to direct. You need to be a slight megalomaniac, not where you want to take over the world, but where you want to make every single decision and the buck stops with you. It's an awful lot of stress.
Matthew Goode
Nobody gets into comedy because they feel like they're cool and funny. If they do, they're megalomaniacs.
Noel Wells
If it is something that I want to do, then I don't think the audience will hate it. Unless I turn into a megalomaniac and start thinking that Salman Khan can do anything.
Salman Khan
