Packet Mode

Famous quotes containing the words packet and/or mode:

“we know our end
A packet of worm-seed, a garden of spent tissues.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)

“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 (1864–1929)
