Famous quotes containing the words political and/or control:
“I’m not into smoke-filled rooms. I don’t have the time for byzantine political intrigues.”
—Benazir Bhutto (b. 1953)
“The glance is natural magic. The mysterious communication established across a house between two entire strangers, moves all the springs of wonder. The communication by the glance is in the greatest part not subject to the control of the will. It is the bodily symbol of identity with nature. We look into the eyes to know if this other form is another self, and the eyes will not lie, but make a faithful confession what inhabitant is there.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
