Control Stick

Famous quotes containing the words control and/or stick:

“Time in the hand is not control of time,
Nor shattered fragments of an instrument
A proof against the wind; the wind will rise,
We can only close the shutters.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

“Does it stick in our minds as a touchstone
Of learning and la politesse?
For while the old place hadn’t much tone,
Two others we know have got less.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
