In that sense, film is superior, but the difficulty is your lack of control as a writer.
Terry Southern
Jazz is like a great void, it waits patiently until a brave musician takes control of space and time.
Chris Griffin
According to the Western model, pregnancy is a disease, menopause is a disease, and even getting pregnant is a disease. Dangerous drugs and devices are given to women, but not to men- just for birth control. I've reached the conclusion that to many doctors BEING A WOMAN IS A DISEASE
Barbara Seaman
Gun control? We need bullet control! I think every bullet should cost 5,000 dollars. Because if a bullet cost five thousand dollar, we wouldn't have any innocent bystander
Chris Rock
Pregnancy seemed like a tremendous abdication of control. Something growing inside you which would eventually usurp your life.
Erica Jong
He could not forget the touch of her arms around his neck, impatiently felt as it had been at the time; but now the recollection of her clinging defence of him, seemed to thrill him through and through,--to melt away every resolution, all power of self-control, as if it were wax before a fire
Elizabeth Gaskell
If you can control a manÃs thinking, you donÃt have to worry about his actions. If you can determine what a man thinks you do not have worry about what he will do. If you can make a man believe that he is inferior, you donÃt have to compel him to seek an inferior status, he will do so without being told and if you can make a man believe that he is justly an outcast, you donÃt have to order him to the back door, he will go to the back door on his own and if there is no back door, the very nature of the man will demand that you build one.
Carter G. Woodson
Golf is a game in which one endeavors to control a ball with implements ill adapted for the purpose
Woodrow T. Wilson
Yoga is invigoration in relaxation. Freedom in routine. Confidence through self control. Energy within and energy without.
Ymber Delecto
Dandelions are the supreme symbol of the failure of human control, a yellow flag of mockery, and every time we burned that flag, back it comes, stronger than ever. No plants or animal is as obstinately perverse in its flaunting of human wishes.
David Ehrenfeldâ€
Weather is uncontrollable. Only the Lord above can control the weather. Whatever we get, we have to work with.â€
Maurice Greene
But there is another strong objection which I, one of the laziest of all the children of Adam, have against the Leisure State. Those who think it could be done argue that a vast machinery using electricity, water-power, petrol, and so on, might reduce the work imposed on each of us to a minimum. It might, but it would also reduce our control to a minimum. We should ourselves become parts of a machine, even if the machine only used those parts once a week. The machine would be our master, for the machine would produce our food, and most of us could have no notion of how it was really being produced
Gilbert Keith Chesterton
Another powerful principle of our nature, which is the spring of war, is the passion for superiority, for triumph, for power. The human mind is aspiring, impatient of inferiority, and eager for preeminence and control.
William Ellery Channing
Where is the proof, said I, that daemons may not be subjected to the control of men? This truth may be distorted and debased in the minds of the ignorant. The dogmas of the vulgar, with regard to this subject, are glaringly absurd; but though these may justly be neglected by the wise, we are scarcely justified in totally rejecting the possibility that man may obtain supernatural aid.
Charles Brockden Brown
Dost thou wish me to complete the catalogue by thy death? Thy life is a worthless thing. Tempt me no more. I am but a man, and thy presence may awaken a fury which may spurn my control. Begone!
Charles Brockden Brown
