General Modes

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or modes:

    In communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticize after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, shepherd or critic.
    Karl Marx (1818–1883)

    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)
