Famous quotes containing the word control:
“There are many things children accept as grown-up things over when they have no control and for which they have no responsibilityfor instance, weddings, having babies, buying houses, and driving cars. Parents who are separating really need to help their children put divorce on that grown-up list, so that children do not see themselves as the cause of their parents decision to live apart.”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)
“Being a parent is such serious business that we dare not take it too seriously. Children are inherently funny. So are parents. We all are at our funniest when we are desperately struggling to appear to be in control of a new situation.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“Culture means control over nature.”
—Johan Huizinga (18721945)
