Insert Mode

Famous quotes containing the words insert and/or mode:

    In the felt of the morning the calico minded,
    sufficiently starched, insert papers, hit keys,
    efficient and sure as their adding machines;
    yet they weep in the vault,
    Patricia K. Page (b. 1916)

    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)
