Orville Wright, American Inventor (1871-  )
The fact that people still know us is, in my opinion, a result of our music and of the big money that runs the music industry today. The people who control the industry are accountants who recycle everything in new, nostalgic packages, and everything else, to make more money.

Ron Wyden, American Politician (1949-  )
The current stage does not allow the entrance of everyone into a military conflict, however everyone must be ready for the day in which it might take place, as the Zionist enemy is planning to attack our people and to control our land once again.
Ahmed Yassin, Palestinian Activist
Literature has to serve as a moral control of politics.

Under the big political umbrella, a man is just like a leaf in the ocean, with no control of his destiny and does not have any choice.
Zhang Yimou, Chinese Director (1950-  )
Control success before it controls you.
Dwight Yoakam, American Musician (1956-  )
Too many pitchers, that's all, there are just too many pitchers Ten or twelve on a team. Don't see how any of them get enough work. Four starting pitchers and one relief man ought to be enough. Pitch 'em every three days and you'd find they'd get control and good, strong arms.
Cy Young, American Athlete (1867-1955)
History will tell where I stand in the ranks of Bond villains, I have no control over that.

Music can be so disturbing and frustrating. I mean the business side of it. The actual making music part is fun, but the business side of it is just so out of control, has nothing to do with anything.
Dweezil Zappa, American Musician (1969-  )
If those in charge of our society - politicians, corporate executives, and owners of press and television - can dominate our ideas, they will be secure in their power. They will not need soldiers patrolling the streets. We will control ourselves.
