Control Quotes
-

I'm possessed by love - but isn't everybody? Most of my songs are love ballads and things to do with sadness and torture and pain. In terms of love, you're not in control and I hate that feeling.

One ideological claim is that private property is theft, that the natural product of the existence of property is evil, and that private ownership therefore should not exist...

The absence of property almost always means the concentration of power in the state.
