How we cite our quotes: (Volume.Chapter.Paragraph.)
Quote #10
"When there's no news, make it," was Wynand's order. (3.1.179)
Wynand's ability to control the flow of information is one of the major sources of his power, but as we see later on his power has definite limits.
Quote #11
"Power, Dominique. The only thing I've ever wanted. To know that there's not a man living whom I can't force to do—anything." (3.8.46)
Wynand, unlike other characters, comes right out and says that he only wants power. The way he defines power is very telling though. He, along with Toohey, defines power as the ability to control other people. However, we see both of these men fail in their dominance of others throughout the novel. Power is clearly something else here that they are missing.
Quote #12
"All this power I wanted, reached, and never used [....] Now they'll see what I can do. I'll force them to recognize him as he should be recognized." (4.9.94)
Poor Wynand lives out the whole pride-goeth-before-a-fall thing as he displays way too much confidence in his power. Turns out, Wynand only had power when he was giving others what they wanted, such as tabloid garbage.
