Line Mode

Famous quotes containing the words line and/or mode:

“Today, the notion of progress in a single line without goal or limit seems perhaps the most parochial notion of a very parochial century.”

“The mode of founding a college is, commonly, to get up a subscription of dollars and cents, and then, following blindly the principles of a division of labor to its extreme,—a principle which should never be followed but with circumspection,—to call in a contractor who makes this a subject of speculation,... and for these oversights successive generations have to pay.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
