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.

American Activist

Chade-Meng Tan

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.

Businessman

Matthew Goode

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.

English Actor

Bertrand Russell

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.

British Philosopher

Jerry Lewis

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.

American Comedian

George Newbern

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.

American Actor

Eugene Jarvis

I got interested in computers and how they could be enslaved to the megalomaniac impulses of a teenager.

American Scientist

David Bailey

My friends are all megalomaniacs - from Damien Hirst to Jack Nicholson - all of them.

English Photographer

Kate Bush

I'm the shyest megalomaniac you're ever likely to meet.

British Musician

Bram Cohen

When I put my mind to it I can be a megalomaniac.

Megalomaniac has a negative tone and suggests harmful levels of ambition or control.

Negative Connotation

Though it sounds clinical, it's typically used in informal contexts to criticize someone's behavior.

Not Clinical

Megalomaniac is often used when someone abuses their power, not just desires it.

Power Abuse

When used as an adjective, it intensifies the description of a person's controlling behavior.

Descriptive Intensity

Use cautiously, as calling someone megalomaniac can be seen as a harsh criticism.

Cautious Usage

Megalomaniac captures the essence of wanting too much control over others or situations.
