Famous quotes containing the words control and/or approaches:

    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)

    No one ever approaches perfection except by stealth, and unknown to themselves.
    William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
