Famous quotes containing the words breath and/or control:
“If her breath were as terrible as her terminations, there were no living near her; she would infect to the north star.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“There are many things children accept as “grown-up things” over when they have no control and for which they have no responsibility—for 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)
