"OF COURSE!"
M. Bison, Street Fighter
World Domination. Same old dream. Our asylums are full of people who think they're Napoleon. Or God.
Sauron desired to be a God-King, and was held to be this by his servants; if he had been victorious he would have demanded divine honour from all rational creatures and absolute temporal power over the whole world.
The Letters of J. R. R. Tolkien
Purple Tentacle: Nonsense; it makes me feel great! Smarter! More aggressive! I feel like I could... like I could... like I could... TAKE ON THE WORLD!

All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world

Tears for Fears, "Everybody Wants To Rule The World"

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world

Coldplay, "Viva La Vida"
"I will conquer, I will rule; I will seize political control of an area, and force its inhabitants to follow my way of thinking!"
