Failure Mode

Famous quotes containing the words failure and/or mode:

“Slowly the poison the whole blood stream fills.

The waste remains, the waste remains and kills.”

“The only mode of obtaining an answer to these questions of the senses is to forego all low curiosity, and, accepting the tide of being which floats us into the secret of nature, work and live, work and live, and all unawares the advancing soul has built and forged for itself a new condition, and the question and the answer are one.”
