Control Measures

Famous quotes containing the words control and/or measures:

“I am the center of the world, but the control panel seems to be somewhere else.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“Almost everywhere we find . . . the use of various coercive measures, to rid ourselves as quickly as possible of the child within us—i.e., the weak, helpless, dependent creature—in order to become an independent competent adult deserving of respect. When we reencounter this creature in our children, we persecute it with the same measures once used in ourselves.”
—Alice Miller (20th century)
