Famous quotes containing the words political and/or control:

    “We are concerned now, however, about natural, not political limits.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “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)
