You can come to a better understanding of your relationship with it.

You don't know what they're going to do with it in the editing room, what they're going to cut out, which take they're going to use. You know, your control is very limited.

Gillian JacobsMarxists make it an objective to control education, that's how they control minds, countries, populations. We conservatives don't like to control anybody, we're not even activists.

That's what America has demonstrated is true, that's being protested this very day. It's not fine; America's unjust, unfair, and all these things. That's the fight we're in the middle of.
Rush LimbaughIf you knew your potential to feel good, you would ask no one to be different so that you can feel good.

You want to lose yourself in language, become a carrier or messenger.

Russel HonoreIn magic I believe I can control certain elements of my environment, I believe I can control certain aspects of my endocrine system, through imagination, visualization, breathing techniques, which in a sense come into the scientific aspects. So magic is a combination, its a soup, a delightful combination of art, imagination, visualization, fantasy, with a healthy dose of solid basis, because it is a science. The thing is we've lost the keys.

If you don't let those emotions be inside of you then you become extremely violent.

Anyone who challenges their control is deemed as sexist, a racist, a xenophobe, and morally deformed.
