British Control

Famous quotes containing the words british and/or control:

    When a man wants to write a book full of unassailable facts, he always goes to the British Museum.
    Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

    America is neither free nor brave, but a land of tight, iron- clanking little wills, everybody trying to put it over everybody else, and a land of men absolutely devoid of the real courage of trust, trust in life’s sacred spontaneity. They can’t trust life until they can control it.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
