Famous quotes containing the word pattern:

    Put out the light, and then put out the light.
    If I quench thee, thou flaming minister,
    I can again thy former light restore
    Should I repent me; but once put out thy light,
    Thou cunning’st pattern of excelling nature,
    I know not where is that Promethean heat
    That can thy light relume.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    In almost every marriage there is a selfish and an unselfish partner. A pattern is set up and soon becomes inflexible, of one person always making the demands and one person always giving way.
    Iris Murdoch (b. 1919)

    Each child is an adventure into a better life—an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new.
    Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
