Famous quotes containing the words control, command and/or set:
“When a book, any sort of book, reaches a certain intensity of artistic performance it becomes literature.

—Grace Baruch (20th century)
“They say its worse to be ugly. I think it must only be different. If youre pretty, you are subject to one set of assaults; if youre plain you are subject to another.”
—Alix Kates Shulman (b. 1932)
