Impulse Control

Famous quotes containing the words impulse and/or control:

“What is desire?—
The impulse to make someone else complete?
That woman would set sodden straw on fire.”

“Our culture still holds mothers almost exclusively responsible when things go wrong with the kids. Sensing this ultimate accountability, women are understandably reluctant to give up control or veto power. If the finger of blame was eventually going to point in your direction, wouldn’t you be?”
