The Catholic faith never changes. But the language and mode of manifesting this one faith can change according to peoples, times and places.
Since we didn’t use guns, we wanted to make sure we could earn the ability to win the audience over by making it believable. A lot of what you do when you work out in that mode is use your mental energy.
So I feel comfortable that Uber is a very safe mode of transportation.
I don’t intend to write the same kind of book for the rest of my life because I feel I would not be satisfied only writing in one mode.
You really have to do something Bruce Banner-like to me to cause me to go into my righteous indignation mode.
In their heyday, the Pet Shop Boys were the Interpol of the Eighties, dressing up to sing really weird pop songs about lust and loneliness in the big city. They’re low-pro now, not retro-worshipped in the manner of Depeche Mode, New Order, or The Cure, but you can hear the reason why – these guys are too sad.
Our streets should be inviting and safe so anyone can feel comfortable choosing to ride a bike, walk, or take transit, and so it is clear which space is for which mode of travel.
There’s no place for Depeche Mode and the Sisters of Mercy in the music I make with my band. If I was a fan, I wouldn’t want to hear that on a Black Veil Brides record. It was important for me and for the integrity of the band not to tarnish it.
When I move to second after playing right field, I feel like my action has gotten too deliberate, and I have to switch back into that quicker, boom-boom infield mode.
I always meditate before every show. I say a prayer with my crew and my band to get in the mode, and I also stretch because it’s a very athletic show. We’ve got to entertain; it’s what we do.
Nicknamed ‘Mad-Dog Mattis’ by his men, he was a command warrior in the old George Patton mode. He wasn’t an armchair general by any definition of that much-maligned term. If a Marine re-upped at a location where he was present, he would personally go to that Marine and thank him or her for rejoining.
The thing about theater that always and still kind of makes me edgy is that you work and work and work and work, and then you’re just in performance mode, and then you have to just be on; the work is done, and then you just have to do it over and over again, so you’re just constantly at that performance level.
For the first time in over 100 years, a new mode of transportation has been introduced. Hyperloop is real, and it’s here now.
My mode as a writer is to layer different perspectives: the scientific, the philosophical, the political, the journalistic. When you layer them, you get a really wholesome, interesting picture.
I don’t want to slip into Johnny Borrell mode. I don’t want to be singing that there’s nothing on TV, nothing on the radio.
Democracy is not merely a form of government. It is primarily a mode of associated living, of conjoint communicated experience. It is essentially an attitude of respect and reverence towards fellow men.
In promotional mode, every day is a series of decisions. You can easily fill up your day with checklist stuff.
After my divorce, painting took me out of panic mode and into a serene, calm place. I could absolutely lose myself.
Once you finish a film you sort of go into depression mode because the energy shift is so strong. That’s what happens to me anyway; I can’t cope with the switch.
There’s no one else I would rather have as my manager than my mom because I know that she has our best interests at heart. Sometimes, it’s hard to separate manager mode from mom mode. I think as our manager, my mom will get more emotional about situations than she would if she was just our manager.
Cyberspace as a mode of being will never go away. We live in cyberspace.
Besides the actual reading in class of many poems, I would suggest you do two things: first, while teaching everything you can and keeping free of it, teach that poetry is a mode of discourse that differs from logical exposition.

When I get the ball, I have to be ready to be in scoring mode.
I was a crazy guy in Hollywood back in the day, and then when I switched into theater, I got into work mode.
Make the film that you love. When you find a film that you love, every molecule of your being will be moving in the direction of making the best film you can possibly make. This should be your default mode of operation.
Raillery is a mode of speaking in favor of one’s wit at the expense of one’s better nature.
In my fifties, I was still in creation mode. Now I have more of a responsibility to step back and mentor and offer wisdom, offer sign posts on the path.
I think operating in a mode of fear, and operating from a mode of fear, is not going to get us anywhere, as a people, or me, as a person. So I don’t operate from that place.
The pop market is a very fickle market, and that’s why for me to go into the teeny-pop, ‘TRL’ mode, it’s not really for me.
Once the notion of time travel starts to come naturally to the human mind, it is supremely easy to assimilate it into our mode of thinking.
If we’re given a number of circumstances to deal with, the brain goes into this mode of trying to find a solution, and it’s amazing how good we are at it.
Eight years of steady acting training nonstop… three years in the profession. And I’m still in the apprentice mode and I’m still watching everybody and learning.
Duty is that mode of action which constitutes the best application of the capacity of the individual to the general advantage.
We are glorious accidents of an unpredictable process with no drive to complexity, not the expected results of evolutionary principles that yearn to produce a creature capable of understanding the mode of its own necessary construction.
Humor is my default mode.
A man of genius has a right to any mode of expression.
Because the traditional mode of dress for Muslim women is so distinct – the headcovering, which is not there for guys – women carry a greater burden of representation than Muslim men do in non-Muslim societies.
Just the instrumentation of the whole ‘Beast Mode’ made people open up and respect me in a whole other way. With Gucci, I don’t use as many instruments. I don’t play the piano as much because that’s not really the style of music that me and Gucci have built.
When I’m pressured, I have to click into survival mode.
For a long time, our only mode of travel was an Econoline van. Eleven of us, with nine sleeping in the back on two mattresses.
The humanitarian developers behind World of Warcraft have also discovered a way to bribe gamers into turning off their computers and going outside. If you log off for a few days, your character will be more ‘rested’ when you resume playing, a mode that temporarily speeds up your leveling.
Yeah it’s mostly driving and taking airplanes but I like the trains – they’re probably my favorite mode of transportation. They’re smooth, steady, and you’ve got a lot of room and can walk around.
For Donald, lying was primarily a mode of self-aggrandizement meant to convince other people he was better than he actually was.
The mode by which the inevitable comes to pass is effort.
If someone put a camera in my face now, when I am in student mode, I would get embarrassed, but when I am modelling, I play characters.
As an actor you get categorized by other people, but it’s not like I arrange myself into comedy mode or serious mode. If it’s good writing you just have to play it true – if it’s funny, it’s funny. But obviously you don’t want it to be amusing if you’re playing Hedda Gabler!
I like to delude myself that I’m in the old-Hollywood mode. I just tailor my clothes well and try to keep my skin clear. While it would be great to work out an hour a day, there is something inherently sort of selfish about it. I can’t do it.
When I’m in ‘Man vs. Wild’ mode, it’s not pleasure. Every sensor is firing and I’m on reserve power all the time and I’m digging deep – and that’s the magic of it as well, and that’s raw and it’s great.
Most artists value my opinion a lot, and I think that’s due to ‘Beast Mode.’
The deductive method is the mode of using knowledge, and the inductive method the mode of acquiring it.
There is simply no defending the preferred mode of travel for many of the celebrity crazies who lecture us about carbon credits. Do you think these folks are willing to give up their mansions and private jets in order to ‘save the planet?’
I think, actually, any morality system that rewards only the extremes is a flawed system. Players don’t approach life that way, they don’t approach games that way, and they shouldn’t be trained to approach games that way. They shouldn’t be in the ‘Star Wars’ mode where, ‘I’ve got to choose every good option.’
Ever since Romanticism, an oppositional mode, artists have the right, and indeed the duty, to attack social convention. But it is ridiculous and in fact self-infantilizing for them to expect to be financially supported by the general public whom they are insulting.
Oddly enough, I’m not a particularly judgmental person. I just don’t have a lot of filtering when I’m in ‘tiger mother’ mode. I say what comes into my head.
