Famous quotes containing the words traffic and/or control:

    “There’s something about the dead silence of an office building at night. Not quite real. The traffic down below is something that didn’t have anything to do with me.”
    —John Paxton (1911–1985)

    “America is not so much a nightmare as a non-dream. The American non-dream is precisely a move to wipe the dream out of existence. The dream is a spontaneous happening and therefore dangerous to a control system set up by the non-dreamers.”
    —William Burroughs (b. 1914)
