Famous quotes containing the words transparent and/or mode:
“Standing on the bare ground,—my head bathed by the blithe air, and uplifted into infinite space,—all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eye-ball; I am nothing; I see all; the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part and particle of God.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Literature exists at the same time in the modes of error and truth; it both betrays and obeys its own mode of being.”
