Oskar Schindler: Power - is when we have every justification to kill, and we don't.
Amon Goeth: You think that's power?
Oskar Schindler: That's what the Emperor said. A man stole something, he's brought in before the Emperor, he throws himself down on the ground. He begs for mercy, he knows he's going to die. And the Emperor - pardons him. This worthless man, he lets him go.
Amon Goeth: I think you are drunk.
Oskar Schindler: That's power, Amon. That - is power.

Not essential? I think you misunderstand the meaning of the word. I teach history and literature, since when it's not essential?

Amon Goeth: Control is power. That's power.
Oskar Schindler: Is that why they fear us?
Amon Goeth: We have the fucking power to kill, that's why they fear us.
Oskar Schindler: They fear us because we have the power to kill arbitrarily. A man commits a crime, he should know better. We have him killed, and we feel pretty good about it. Or we kill him ourselves and we feel even better. That's not power, though. That's justice. It's different than power.
