Master Volume Control

Famous quotes containing the words master, volume and/or control:

    To be one’s own master is to be the slave of self.
    Natalie Clifford Barney (1876–1972)

    Thy commandment all alone shall live
    Within the book and volume of my brain
    Unmixed with baser matter.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    If someone does something we disapprove of, we regard him as bad if we believe we can deter him from persisting in his conduct, but we regard him as mad if we believe we cannot. In either case, the crucial issue is our control of the other: the more we lose control over him, and the more he assumes control over himself, the more, in case of conflict, we are likely to consider him mad rather than just bad.
    Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
