Famous quotes containing the words control and/or messages:

    “Religion differs from magic in that it is not concerned with control or manipulation of the powers confronted. Rather it means submission to, trust in, and adoration of, what is apprehended as the divine nature of ultimate reality.”
    —Joachim Wach (1898–1955)

    “Joan: I hear voices telling me what to do. They come from God. Robert: They come from your imagination. Joan: Of course. That is how the messages of God come to us.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
