Power/Ability to:	Suppress one's emotions or possess none at all.

"It was not apathy. It was an intelligent disinterest in those things that could have no bearing on one's existence."

― Tanith Lee

"It's kinda like how I carry a little piece of onion around with me, to illicit tears in case someone needs me to feel something about what they said or doing; you know what I mean?"

― Dennis Reynolds (It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia)

"You see life through a freaking keyhole because you let emotions cloud your judgment. Emotions are the cancer of the intellect."

― James Munroe (The Expendables)
