Full Control

Famous quotes containing the words full and/or control:

    Bodies of holy men and women exude
    Miraculous oil, odour of violet.
    But under heavy loads of trampled clay
    Lie bodies of the vampires full of blood;
    Their shrouds are bloody and their lips are wet.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    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. The stupid years patter on with unrelenting feet, never stopping—rising to little monotonous peaks in our imaginations at festivals like New Year’s and Easter and Christmas—But, goodness, why need they do it?
    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
