Attitude Control

Famous quotes containing the words attitude and/or control:

    What is
    there in being able
    to say that one has dominated the stream in an attitude of
    self-defense;

    in proving that one has had the experience
    of carrying a stick?
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

    For the mother who has opted to stay home, the question remains: Having perfected her role as a caretaker, can she abdicate control to less practiced individuals? Having put all her identity eggs in one basket, can she hand over the basket freely? Having put aside her own ambitions, can she resist imposing them on her children? And having set one example, can she teach another?
    Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
