Quotation from Troilus and Cressida by William Shakespeare
“And appetite, an universal wolf, So doubly seconded with will and power, Must make perforce an universal prey, And last eat up himself”
Troilus and Cressida, Act I, Scene III (Project Gutenberg #1528)
The climax of the degree speech: once order collapses, power reduces to will and will to appetite, which consumes itself.
