Famous quotes containing the words air, movement, control and/or association:

    “Mothers of America
    let your kids go to the movies!
    get them out of the house so they won’t know what you’re up to
    it’s true that fresh air is good for the body
    but what about the soul
    that grows in darkness, embossed by silvery images”
    —Frank O’Hara (1926–1966)

    “The American suffrage movement has been, until very recently, altogether a parlor affair, absolutely detached from the economic needs of the people.”
    —Emma Goldman (1869–1940)

    “The child knows only that he engages in play because it is enjoyable. He isn’t aware of his need to play—a need which has its source in the pressure of unsolved problems. Nor does he know that his pleasure in playing comes from a deep sense of well-being that is the direct result of feeling in control of things, in contrast to the rest of his life, which is managed by his parents or other adults.”
    —Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)

    “With all their faults, trade-unions have done more for humanity than any other organization of men that ever existed. They have done more for decency, for honesty, for education, for the betterment of the race, for the developing of character in man, than any other association of men.”
    —Clarence Darrow (1857–1938)
