Holding Pattern

Famous quotes containing the words holding and/or pattern:

“An Englishman’s never so natural as when he’s holding his tongue.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)

“It was her stern necessity: all things
Are of one pattern made; bird, beast, and flower,
Deceive us, seeming to be many things,
And are but one. Beheld far off, they differ
As God and devil; bring them to the mind,
They dull its edge with their monotony.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
