Mode Quotations
There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root, and it may be that he who bestows the largest amount of time and money on the needy is doing the most by his mode of life to produce that misery which he strives in vain to relieve. Henry David Thoreau Men create gods after their own image, not only with regard to their form but with regard to their mode of life. Aristotle Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known. Oscar Wilde Marriage is for women the commonest mode of livelihood, and the total amount of undesired sex endured by women is probably greater in marriage than in prostitution. Bertrand Russell When I went to school, I was in the same mode. I did the things I enjoyed, what I loved. Loretta Swit |
