Famous quotes containing the words political and/or control:

    “Even the poor student studies and is taught only political economy, while that economy of living which is synonymous with philosophy is not even sincerely professed in our colleges. The consequence is, that while he is reading Adam Smith, Ricardo, and Say, he runs his father in debt irretrievably.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Time in the hand is not control of time,
    Nor shattered fragments of an instrument
    A proof against the wind; the wind will rise,
    We can only close the shutters.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
