Persistent Mode

Famous quotes containing the words persistent and/or mode:

“The smallest flower is a thought, a life answering to some feature of the Great Whole, of whom they have a persistent intuition.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)

“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)
