  • Our Twentieth Century has proved to be more cruel than preceding centuries, and the first fifty years have not erased all its horrors. Our world is rent asunder by those same old cave-age emotions of greed, envy, lack of control, mutual hostility which have picked up in passing respectable pseudonyms like class struggle, radical conflict, struggle of the masses, trade-union disputes.

    Alexandr Solzhenitsyn's Nobel lecture in literature delivered only to the Swedish Academy, www.nobelprize.org. 1970.
  • In order for me to parent well I have to empathize and stay open with my son. I am also vulnerable when it comes to trying new things, when I don't feel like I completely know what I am doing. Lack of control.

  • When we give of ourselves, our time, and our money, we're also giving up control. As a control freak myself, I know that sounds scary, but I've learned that the momentary lack of control forces me to look at what I do have and truly count my blessings. I have clean drinking water. I have food on my table. I have a roof over my head and clothes on my back. Suddenly, my panic-stricken mindset is replaced with gratitude.

  • I still have highs and lows, just like any other person. What's missing is the lack of control over the super highs, which became destructive, and the super lows, which are immediately destructive.

  • It’s all about control. Control is illusory. No matter what university you go to, no matter what degree you hold, if your goal is to become master of your own destiny, you have more to learn. Parkinson’s is a perfect metaphor for lack of control. Every unwanted movement in my hand or arm, every twitch that I cannot anticipate or arrest, is a reminder that even in the domain of my own being, I am not calling the shots. I tried to exert control by drinking myself to a place of indifference, which just exacerbated the sense of miserable hopelessness.

  • I really feel vulnerable when I don't have the answer to something. When I feel lack of control, my nerves really kick in.

    "Millennial Expert Chelsea Krost: Success, Social Media, and Unplugging". Interview with Maranda Pleasant, www.marandapleasantmedia.com.
  • My fault, my failure, is not in the passions I have, but in my lack of control of them.

  • By sort of combining the research of a lot of smart people, I came up with an equation for dread [dread=uncontrollability+unfamiliarity+imaginability+suffering+scale of destruction+unfairness]. The dread equation is a simplification, but it's a way to explain why we fear something so much when it is so unlikely. Part of it is the lack of control. That's why we're more scared of plane crashes than car crashes even though we know rationally which is more dangerous.

  • When a religion or ideology becomes dominant, the lack of controls will result in widening spirals of license leading to degradation and corruption.

  • Someone who says "I am busy" is either declaring incompetence (and lack of control of his life) or trying to get rid of you.

    Nassim Nicholas Taleb (2010). “The Bed of Procrustes: Philosophical and Practical Aphorisms”, p.29, Random House
  • You must gain control over your money or the lack of it will forever control you.

    Money   Forever   Saving  
    Dave Ramsey (2002). “Financial Peace Revisited: New Chapters on Marriage, Singles, Kids and Families”, p.30, Penguin
  • John and I weren't capable of getting back to Kenwood from there, so the four of us sat up for the rest of the night as the walls moved, the plants talked, other people looked like ghouls and time stood still. It was horrific: I hated the lack of control and not knowing what was going on or what would happen next.

    Wall   Night   Ghouls  
    Cynthia Lennon (2005). “John”, Crown Pub
  • In that sense, film is superior, but the difficulty is your lack of control as a writer.

  • Anarchy is all around us. Without it, our world would fall apart. All progress is due to it. All order extends from it. All blessed things that rise above the state of nature are owned to it. The human race thrives only because of the lack of control, not because of it. I’m saying that we need ever more absence of control to make the world a more beautiful place. It is a paradox that we must forever explain.

  • The object of a bunker or trap is not only to punish a physical mistake, to punish lack of control, but also to punish pride and egotism.
