Tearing Modes

Famous quotes containing the words tearing and/or modes:

    Now I hold Creation in my foot

    Or fly up, and revolve it all slowly—
    I kill where I please because it is all mine.
    There is no sophistry in my body:
    My manners are tearing off heads—

    The allotment of death.
    Ted Hughes (b. 1930)

    Heaven is large, and affords space for all modes of love and fortitude. Why should we be busybodies and superserviceable?
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
