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)

“The essence of belief is the establishment of a habit; and different beliefs are distinguished by the different modes of action to which they give rise.”
