[Gregor Samsa]

In the interests of pointlessness, that Wilde quote is from The Importance Of Being Earnest.

Michel Foucault is an interesting 'authority' concerning power and truth.
Truth is a thing of this world, produced by virtue of multiple forms of constraints.

It is not possible for power to be exercised without knowledge. It is impossible for knowledge not to engender power.-Power/Knowledge.

If you're studying Frontline, I found this to be an useful quote;
Its not my job to listen to myself, its my job to listen to those above me-Brian, Smaller Fish To Fry' (And the power-relations of Frontline are clearly apparent in this episode.)
