Final Control Element

Famous quotes containing the words final, control and/or element:

    So often, as the septuagenarian reflects on life’s rewards, we hear that, “in the final analysis” of money, power, prestige, and marriage, fathering alone was what “mattered.”
    Kyle D. Pruett (20th century)

    ... the black girls didn’t get these pills because their black ministers were up on the pulpit saying that birth control pills were black genocide. What I’m saying is that black men have exploited black women.... They didn’t want them to have any choice about their reproductive health. And if you can’t control your reproduction, you can’t control your life.
    Joycelyn Elders (b. 1933)

    Truly, though our element is time,
    We are not suited to the long perspectives
    Open at each instant of our lives.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
