Famous quotes containing the words display and/or modes:
“We rarely quote nowadays to appeal to authority ... though we quote sometimes to display our sapience and erudition. Some authors we quote against. Some we quote not at all, offering them our scrupulous avoidance, and so make them part of our “white mythology.” Other authors we constantly invoke, chanting their names in cerebral rituals of propitiation or ancestor worship.”
—Ihab Hassan (b. 1925)
“Heaven is large, and affords space for all modes of love and fortitude. Why should we be busybodies and superserviceable?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
