Control Weeds

Famous quotes containing the words control and/or weeds:

“When a book, any sort of book, reaches a certain intensity of artistic performance it becomes literature. That intensity may be a matter of style, situation, character, emotional tone, or idea, or half a dozen other things. It may also be a perfection of control over the movement of a story similar to the control a great pitcher has over the ball.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

“Far far from gusty waves, these children’s faces.
Like rootless weeds the torn hair round their paleness.”
—Stephen Spender (1909–1995)
