Text Quotes
Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible  (Control Quotes) A woman relinquishes her unfettered right to control her own body when her actions cause the conception of a baby  (Control Quotes) The most common objection to changes in public policy which would increase a user’s control of housing at the expense of centralized institutions is that standards would be lowered as a result. The standards the objectors have in mind, however, are not something that cam be achieved with available resources, but, rather, represent the objector’s own notion of what housing ought to be  (Control Quotes) Guns have little or nothing to do with juvenile violence. The causes of youth violence are working parents who put their kids into daycare, the teaching of evolution in the schools, and working mothers who take birth control pills  (Control Quotes) Frozen in fear, you avoid responsibility because you think your experience is beyond your control. This stance keeps you from making decisions, solving problems, or going after what you want in life  (Control Quotes) When you inhabit any of these three roles, you’re reacting to fear of victimhood, loss of control, or loss of purpose. You’re always looking outside yourself, to the people and circumstances of life, for a sense of safety, security, and sanity  (Control Quotes) The art is the challenge which you must meet every day: the technique you should learn to control with time. The science and the art of photography are really one, and not opposed to each other  (Control Quotes) Birth control itself, often denounced as a violation of natural law, is nothing more or less than the facilitation of the process of weeding out the unfit, of preventing the birth of defectives or of those who will become defectives  (Control Quotes) The will to mastery becomes all the more urgent the more technology threatens to slip from human control  (Control Quotes) Once it is out of his hand the artist has no control over the way a viewer will perceive the work. Different people will understand the same thing in a different way  (Control Quotes) In the technotronic society the trend would seem to be towards the aggregation of the individual support of millions of uncoordinated citizens, easily within the reach of magnetic and attractive personalities exploiting the latest communications techniques to manipulate emotions and control reason  (Control Quotes) Today it is infinitely easier to kill one million people than to control one million people  (Control Quotes) It isn’t myself that’s important in this transaction apparently; the individual doesn’t count much in the situation... all of us are more or less pawns. We’re moved about like chessmen by circumstances over which we have no control  (Control Quotes) Clearly the hardest thing for the working artist is to create his own conception and follow it, unafraid of the strictures it imposes, however rigid these may be... I see it as the clearest evidence of genius when an artist follows his conception, his idea, his principle, so unswervingly that he has this truth of his constantly in his control, never letting go of it even for the sake of his own enjoyment of his work  (Control Quotes) Television is a triumph of equipment over people, and the minds that control it are so small that you could put them in a gnat’s navel with room left over for two caraway seeds and an agent’s heart  (Control Quotes) God knows greed won’t vanish. Neither will hatred or chauvanism. Human nature is a stubborn thing. But it isn’t beyond control. Even if our core impulses can;t be banished, they can be tempered and redirected  (Control Quotes) Many people are horrified at the idea of birth control... It is simply the keynote of a new moral program  (Control Quotes) Trade is now clearly designed to favor the wealthiest and most powerful corporations at the expense of the rest of us. The three wealthiest people on earth now control more assets than the combined incomes of 600 million people in the world’s 48 poorest countries  (Control Quotes) Worry is most often a prideful way of thinking you have more control over life and its circumstances than you actually do  (Control Quotes) Ideas for gadgets for the disabled were coming into my head so fast they seemed to be arriving from somewhere outside of me, beamed down by an unremitting force. I had little control over them, or their flow. I would wake up in the middle of the night. A blinding flash of an idea would rouse me from my bed and I’d rush down to my workshop to have a go at it before the inspiration dimmed  (Control Quotes) At that time in my life I implicitly understood something that adults seem to have forgotton: that we do have control over our own bodies. I forgot that many times as an adult, too; but sometimes when I was in the flow and running with complete confidence, I would remember that feeling and know that I could will my body to do my bidding. On those days I was unbeatable  (Control Quotes) How simple it is to see that all the worry in the world cannot control the future  (Control Quotes) We must shift our allegiances from fear to curiosity, from attachment to letting go, from control to trust, and from entitlement to humility  (Control Quotes) If we observe genuinely happy people, we shall find that they do not just sit around being contented. They make things happen. They pursue new understandings, seek new achievements, and control their thoughts and feelings. In sum, our intentional, effortful activities have a powerful effect on how happy we are, over and above the effects of our set points and the circumstances in which we find themselves. If an unhappy person wants to experience interest, enthusiasm, contentment, peace, and joy, he or she can make it happen by learning the habits of a happy person  (Control Quotes) Mindful grief means mourning and letting go of the past without expectation, fear, censure, blame, shame, control and so forth.

Nobody  (Control Quotes) A tattoo is an affirmation: that this body is yours to have and to enjoy while you’re here. Nobody else can control what you do with it  (Control Quotes) Destiny is as destiny does. If you believe you have no control, then you have no control  (Control Quotes) Throughout history government has served as a vehicle for the organization of hatred and oppression, benefiting no one except those who are ambitious and ruthless enough to gain control of it  (Control Quotes)
