Famous quotes containing the words control and/or surface:

    “America is neither free nor brave, but a land of tight, iron- clanking little wills, everybody trying to put it over everybody else, and a land of men absolutely devoid of the real courage of trust, trust in life’s sacred spontaneity. They can’t trust life until they can control it.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “How easily it falls, how easily I let drift
    On the surface of morning feathers of self-reproach:
    How easily I disperse the scolding of snow.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
