Impulse Control

Famous quotes containing the words impulse and/or control:

    In life, then, no new thing has ever arisen, or can arise, save out of the impulse of the male upon the female, the female upon the male. The interaction of the male and female spirit begot the wheel, the plough, and the first utterance that was made on the face of the earth.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Playing at make-believe, the young child becomes the all-powerful person he cannot be in reality. In pretending, the child takes control of his otherwise powerless position.
    Joanne E. Oppenheim (20th century)
