Common Controls

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or controls:

“They sang, but had not human tunes nor words,
Though all was done in common as before;

They had changed their throats and had the throats of birds.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“The confusion of emotions with behavior causes no end of unnecessary trouble to both adults and children. Behavior can be commanded; emotions can’t. An adult can put controls on a child’s behavior—at least part of the time—but how do you put controls on what a child feels? An adult can impose controls on his own behavior—if he’s grown up—but how does he order what he feels?”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
