Church Modes

Famous quotes containing the words church and/or modes:

    At bottom, I mean profoundly at bottom, the FBI has nothing to do with Communism, it has nothing to do with catching criminals, it has nothing to do with the Mafia, the syndicate, it has nothing to do with trust-busting, it has nothing to do with interstate commerce, it has nothing to do with anything but serving as a church for the mediocre. A high church for the true mediocre.
    Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

    my brain
    Worked with a dim and undetermined sense
    Of unknown modes of being; o’er my thoughts
    There hung a darkness, call it solitude
    Or blank desertion.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
