Famous quotes containing the words mode, power and/or supplies:
“In most cases a favorite writer is more with us in his book than he ever could have been in the flesh; since, being a writer, he is one who has studied and perfected this particular mode of personal incarnation, very likely to the detriment of any other. I should like as a matter of curiosity to see and hear for a moment the men whose works I admire; but I should hardly expect to find further intercourse particularly profitable.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (18641929)
“Tis not such lines as almost crack the stage
When Bajazet begins to rage;
Nor a tall metphor in the bombast way,
Nor the dry chips of short-lunged Seneca.
Nor upon all things to obtrude
And force some odd similitude.
What is it then, which like the power divine
We only can by negatives define?”
—Abraham Cowley (16181667)
“Passion impels our deeds; ideology supplies the explanations.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
