Famous quotes containing the words poor and/or control:

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Magic is the envelopment and coercion of the objective world by the ego; it is a dynamic subjectivism. Religion is the coercion of the ego by gods and spirits who are objectively conceived beings in control of nature and man.”
