Famous quotes containing the words familiar and/or pattern:
“The Indians of this neighborhood are about as familiar with the moose as we are with the ox, having associated with them for so many generations.”

“Every child has an inner timetable for growth—a pattern unique to him. . . . Growth is not steady, forward, upward progression. It is instead a switchback trail; three steps forward, two back, one around the bushes, and a few simply standing, before another forward leap.”
—Dorothy Corkville Briggs (20th century)
