“Power is everywhere; not because it embraces everything, but because it comes from everywhere.”
— Michel FoucaultThe History of Sexuality, Vol. 1 (1976), Part IV
Commentary
This line rejects the image of power as a top-down command structure. Foucault shows how power circulates through institutions, knowledge, and everyday practices, which makes it harder to locate and to challenge.
