Famous quotes containing the words launch and/or control:
“Now launch the small ship, now as the body dies
and life departs, launch out, the fragile soul

with its store of food and little cooking pans
and change of clothes,”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“He took control of me for forty-five minutes. This time I’ll have control over him for the rest of his life. If he gets out fifteen years from now, I’ll know.

—Elizabeth Wilson, U.S. crime victim. As quoted in People magazine, p. 88 (May 31, 1993)
