Famous quotes containing the words political and/or control:

    “Fear is cruel and mean. The political reigns of terror have been reigns of madness and malignity,—a total perversion of opinion; society is upside down, and its best men are thought too bad to live.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Playing at make-believe, the young child becomes the all-powerful person he cannot be in reality. In pretending, the child takes control of his otherwise powerless position.”
    —Joanne E. Oppenheim (20th century)
