Famous quotes containing the words control and/or store:

    ““Have we any control over being born?,” my friend asked in despair. “No, the job is done for us while we’re sleeping, so to speak, and when we wake up everything is all set. We merely appear, like an ornate celebrity wheeled out in a wheelchair.” “I don’t remember,” my friend claimed. “No need to,” I said: “what need have us free-loaders for any special alertness? We’re done for.””
    —Marvin Cohen, U.S. author and humorist. The Self-Devoted Friend, New Directions (1967)

    “Taking a child to the toy store is the nearest thing to a death wish parents can have.”
