upon the nerve of power
A world of victory after victory, triumph after triumph after triumph: an endless pressing, pressing, pressing upon the nerve of power. You are beginning, I can see, to realize what that world will be like. But in the end you will do more than understand it. You will accept it, welcome it, become part of it.'
Would you explain the bold text?

Hi, It's hard to know without more context. If it's a book, the title/author or a very brief synopsis would help. If you press hard enough on a nerve, I think you would damage it.

- So, pressing on the nerve of power, ie of powerful forces/people/government, could be seen as damaging them.
- As a very, very rough guess, this seems like something a rebel against authority would be happy to say.
