Famous quotes containing the words control and/or state:
“America is not so much a nightmare as a non-dream. The American non-dream is precisely a move to wipe the dream out of existence. The dream is a spontaneous happening and therefore dangerous to a control system set up by the non-dreamers.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“If nationality is consent, the state is compulsion.”
—Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)
