Famous quotes containing the words control, flow and/or diagram:

    I have not ceased being fearful, but I have ceased to let fear control me. I have accepted fear as a part of life, specifically the fear of change, the fear of the unknown, and I have gone ahead despite the pounding in the heart that says: turn back, turn back, you’ll die if you venture too far.
    Erica Jong, U.S. author. In an essay in The Writer on Her Work, ch. 13 (1980)

    There St. John mingles with my friendly bowl
    The feast of reason and the flow of soul;
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    “God’s fire upon the wane,
    A diagram hung there instead,
    More women born than men.”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
