Famous quotes containing the words control and/or act:

“Why wont they let a year die without bringing in a new one on the instant, cant they use birth control on time? I want an interregnum.

—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

“The last act is bloody, however pleasant all the rest of the play is: a little earth is thrown at last upon our head, and that is the end forever.”
