Famous quotes containing the words control and/or messages:
“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 stoppingrising to little monotonous peaks in our imaginations at festivals like New Years and Easter and ChristmasBut, goodness, why need they do it?”
—John Dos Passos (18961970)
“The first of the undecoded messages read: Popeye sits in thunder,
Unthought of. From that shoebox of an apartment,
From livid curtains hue, a tangram emerges: a country.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
