Famous quotes containing the words control and/or approaches:

    Teenage boys, goaded by their surging hormones ... run in packs like the primal horde. They have only a brief season of exhilarating liberty between control by their mothers and control by their wives.
    Camille Paglia (b. 1947)

    Bloody men are like bloody buses—
    You wait for about a year
    And as soon as one approaches your stop
    Two or three others appear.
    Wendy Cope (b. 1945)
