Famous quotes containing the words motor and/or control:

    “We disparage reason.
    But all the time it’s what we’re most concerned with.
    There’s will as motor and there’s will as brakes.
    Reason is, I suppose, the steering gear.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Time in the hand is not control of time,
    Nor shattered fragments of an instrument
    A proof against the wind; the wind will rise,
    We can only close the shutters.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
